this is more to share knowledge, I'm having to generate a .doc document from a vfp, and I had some problems with the footer/header, one of the problems was that both the footer and the header kept repeating themselves in the body of the document, I saw that many people had the same problem and no solution, so I came to share the solution that worked for me:
The footer and the header kept repeating themselves in the body (contentType=”application/msword”)

i got solution for this after lot of struggling. I did small modification in css. That is: table#hrdftrtbl{ margin:0in 0in 0in 15in; }
I think the main issues is that you should put your margin measurements in the @page element and remove them from the content div. For readability, i've put this all in one VF page:
<apex:page standardStylesheets="false" id="pge" renderAs="pdf" controller="DynaPdfPageCTRL" applyHtmlTag="false" showHeader="false" >
<head>
<style>
@page {
margin-top: 4cm;
margin-bottom: 3cm;
@top-center {
content: element(header);
}
@bottom-left {
content: element(footer);
}
}
div.header {
padding: 10px;
position: running(header);
}
div.footer {
display: block;
padding: 5px;
position: running(footer);
}
.pagenumber:before {
content: counter(page);
}
.pagecount:before {
content: counter(pages);
}
div.content {
border-style:dotted;
float: left;
width: 100%;
}
</style>
</head>
<!-- HEADER -->
<div class="header">
<apex:image value="{!$Resource.Header_Test_ES}" height="100%" width="100%"/>
</div>
<!-- FOOTER -->
<div class="footer">
<div>Page <span class="pagenumber"/> of <span class="pagecount"/></div>
<apex:image value="{!$Resource.Footer_Test_ES}" width="100%" height="100%" />
</div>
<!-- CONTENT -->
<div class="content">
<apex:repeat value="{!testStringList}" var="s">
<b>{!s}</b>
<br/>
</apex:repeat>
</div>
</apex:page>
Notice I also had to add the following attributes to the element applyHtmlTag="false" showHeader="false"

The table+id='hrdftrtbl' tag makes the header/footer not repeat at the end of the doc
