This would be the expected result if you have the footnotes set to "Below
text" rather than "Bottom of page" and there is extra space to be dealt
with. See http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/BottomLine.htm

On one page with footnotes in my document, and no others, I have about an
inch of blank space between the end of the last footnote and the footer.
It
isn't the result of space after paragraph (or space before the next
footnote), and doesn't have anything to do with distance footer is from
edge,
or margins. I have hidden text revealed, and there's nothing in that
space.
Does this means it's just corruption?
