OK gang, here's the Truth(TM) behind this mystery:

Sarah has apparently used the standard Chapter template from the Book
folder in the FM template directory when creating her document.
The page size of Sarah's document is very close to this template,
but not exactly the same, so I guess the page size must have been
changed sometime since the creation.
The page footer frame of the template contains the text "Great events
of the twentieth century" and is positioned 8.5" from the top.
Sarah's page footer frame contains her own text and is also positioned
8.5" from the top.

HOWEVER, if you change the page size of Sarah's document, the original
page footer frame from the template appears below Sarah's own frame.
It's positioned 9.2" from the top, below the document's original
page bottom. It shows up in her printouts because the paper size is
larger than the page size.

Sarah, to correct this, you must actually temporarily make the page size
larger, select and remove the rogue footer frames and then reset the
page size. (There are other ways to, but they are more complicated to
describe and get right.)
And, this is not any common or intended behavior of FM. Apparently, you
must have, unintentionally, copied and moved the original page footer
frame (from the template) below the page bottom. I don't know of any
common operation that would do this without you catching it.

Finally, I don't think this Adobe template is particularly well designed,
and I wouldn't use it for any of my own professional documents.
