Word 2013 - Can't get rid of an odd little border that can only be seen when document is printed or converted to PDF.

Unable to get rid of small border sticking out of the right side of this table.
I can't see that little stub when I'm editing.
I can't see it in print preview.

I can only see it when printed on hard copy .
I can only see it when converteed into a PDF.
WHY?

Please tell me how to do it. I have many tables I need to fix wit this glitch.

Table or Image properties, remove the border. Then the document and PDF should be the same.

Check to see if table exceeds document margin as well.

I need the border. It's that little stub sticking out of the right side that I want to get rid of.
Just that one line.

I have the document and cannot see this.

Make sure the interior margins (each cell) are smaller than (inside of) the table grid lines.
How can I make sure the interior margins are smaller than the grid lines?
Where do I see the measurement of the interior margins?
Where do I see the measurement of the table grid lines?
Properties of the cell for the table cell and look at the alignment settings to ensure Indent left and right is greater than zero.

Then make sure table margins are inside the Word document boundaries.
Hi John:
I found the problem.
Perhaps you can tell me what this is called?
I need to set this to 3.24".  Currently it's 3.4".  I don't want to use my mouse however. I want to use my keyboard.

How can I set this in a dialog box rather than dragging my mouse.

That is your ruler (I think from the picture) . They are conflicting with the table. Remove all your tabs and set your table properties as I described.

I know what the ruler is.  What is the name of that rectangular thinggie at the end of the ruler that looks like a cross-stitch when you zoom in up close.
What is the official name for that rectangular thinggie at the end of the ruler?
Tab stop normally or maybe justification stop?  

It could be something else.  Zoom in, then screen shot so we can see zoomed in.
