Default Inserting footnote brings in copy of header and footer

One of our users inserted a footnote in a document, and a copy of the header
and footer (uneditable/un-deletable) appeared at the end of the page, just
above the footnote. Strangely, the footer was pulled from an appendix -- and
the footnote was inserted in chapter 1. We are using Word's StyleRef field in
the headers and footers to pull information from the cover page of the
document -- if that has any significance.

We have a master document that serves as a template for documents (which was
used for the problem document). When I opened a copy of the original and
inserted footnotes, they functioned properly. Should I chalk this up to a "
MS Word moment" and copy and paste into a fresh document -- or does someone
have an explanation? Thanks.
