Although watermarks can be added by a printer (and you won't see them in
Print Preview in Word), the fact that you're getting this "watermark" on two
different printers and not on every page (not even on every odd page) argues
against that. If you were getting it in the PDF as well, I'd think it was
something hidden in the XML that was showing up on print, and that may still
be the case if you're using the PDF add-in from MS, which functions
differently, I gather, from the "printer driver" method used by Adobe
Acrobat.
Oh, wait, you specified "print, draft or web view," and I'm guessing by
"print" you mean Print Layout. What do you see in Print Preview?

I have a 360 page book that uses the book fold option. In order to get it
to
print properly I use .doc format from word 2007. When I print (either on
my
HP or on a large Panasonic), odd pages get a faint bar about 1.5" wide by
1/16" high starting at the left edge, not the left margin.
This bar does not show up when displaying on the screen in print, draft or
web view so it doesn't seem to be a watermark. The bar does not show up
when
I save the file as a PDF and view it.
Even though I have the bar in every section, near the end of the book
there
are three odd pages with no bar.
