This behavior can occur if the following conditions are true:

 * You format the table with a thick outline border in the following manner:


 * On the Format menu, click Borders and Shading.
 * Under Use the buttons below to apply a single border style to the paragraph, click the Outline button.

 * You insert a row into the table, and then type within that row in the following manner:


 * On the Table menu, click Insert Row, and then click Before Current Row.
 * Type anywhere in the inserted row.



RESOLUTION
To prevent this issue from occurring, disable the Autosize Cell Height option before you insert a row into the table. To do this:
 * 1) On the Table menu, click Cell Height and Width.
 * 2) Click to clear the Autosize Cell Height check box.
 * 3) Click OK.
