Loss of headers, footers, page numbers

I'm starting to wonder if the 'problem' is nothing more than a misunderstanding of how Word works. The OP says:

I am able to open the template and it shows that all is there. But a new document shows headers, footers, and page numbers to be empty.

This is normal behaviour unless the:
• template the document is based on (which won't be Building Blocks.dotx) has them; and
• document is being viewed in Print Layout view; and

• Word is configured to 'show whitespace between pages in Print Layout view'.

I was assuming he meant that these don't show up under the Insert tab. Built-In Building Blocks.dotx does not have any headers, footers, or page numbers in the document itself, only in the building blocks stored in the template.
