Office Basic Edition 2003...

We use an Avery label template to generate timecard labels for ever changing
labor pool... We have document saved on the file server that contains
employee name, department, and pay week.

The problem... The borders on the template disappear for the payroll clerk.
If I open the doc on any other PC, the borders are present. This only
happens on her PC, and she is the primary user. Since employee turnover is
quite high, there is constant editing happening to this doc.

I have uninstalled and reinstalled her office, and to no avail... I have
looked for border settings, and still can't solve this.

Any ideas???

TIA,
Lance

Are these actual borders or just the table gridlines (Table | Show
Gridlines)?

A label document is simply a document containing a table. When talking about
tables, you need to distinguish between gridlines (nonprinting) and borders
(printing). I think you're concerned with gridlines, in which case the
solution is just to select Table > Show Gridlines.
