How to delete page border background

I inherited a document that contains a page border and shading on the right side of every page as shown in the partial image below. I have tried Page Borders on Page Layout tab to set to None but to no avail. Please help me remove this without affecting the rest of the document formatting.

Thank you.

If this isn't a page border it might be one or more graphic objects anchored to the header. Double-click the header area to activate the header/footer view. See if you can click and select one or more "borders." Press the Delete key.
