Using Indesign 2024 and cannot remove border strokes around cells in table

I have set all the Table and Cell strokes to Color=NONE and Weight=0 but these lines keep showing up when I export the image.  I was originally thinking of White border which is why White cell border persists but cannot get rid of it.

 

I am trying to export the graphic create graphic for retractable banner and need to get rid of these cell outlines.

 

I have searched every possible tech note on tables and borders and nothing works.  Help!

I spent many hours on this problem. Setting the Strokes properties for Table cells, rows or columns - No Color or 0 pt - had any effect on the white border that I wanted dropped out.

Ultimately, I came across a Border selection box under Paragraph properties. I unchecked and the white border around the text around the table cell text disappeared. Can someone explain why?

    After many hours of searching settings in Indesign, I finally found that by unchecking Border box under Paragraph properties made these white borders disappear.  No stroke setting for table, cells or rows affected this.  Very exaperating. Can someone explain?

      Now, Paragraphs have borders as well:

      If you've just shared your file 😉

      It should be much quicker to diagnose the problem - if you could share your file - I think even one page should be sufficient.
