Check that the border colour is not set to transparent or white (or
whatever the background colour of your layout is).

Also before you go to the Borders window, make sure you've selected the
appropriate field(s) you want to format. Changing the options with no
field(s) selected will set the default for any new fields added to the
Layout, but it won't change fields already on the Layout.
