Is the line there when you print preview the document? And is the line present when it is printed into an Adobe pdf file?

I have got a Word document that I have opened in both version of Word 2003 and 2007. In Word 2007, I saved the document as a 2003 compatible document so no worries there... but when I opened it in either version after that, the document suddenly acquired a line across the base of the footer area in the document. It resides neither in the footer nor in the document. I am unable to select it or highlight it, nor is there a hidden table all the rest.. This unprofessional looking document from the company's technical writer has to be presented to management soonish and try as I might I am unable to correct this problem, even when investigating every footer in every section of the document, and ensuring that link to previous is disabled. Any clues, suggestions etc.. (without telling me to bin this lovely 31 page document :-)).
