Default lay-out page

Something has changed when I want to open a new word document. Until a few days ago I saw the space for headnotes and footnotes on the screen.

For one or other reason this has changed, which I find very annoying. Now I get a page which begins with the first line of the body of the text I want to type. Page 2 is separated from page 1 by a line .

If I want to restore the lay-out, I have to go to 'footnotes' and choose 'change footnotes'.

How can I restore the former lay-out of the page? It's probably very simple, but I don't see it.

Tanks.

Presumably, the changed appearance is because someone has unchecked the 'Show white space between pages in Print Layout view' option in File|Options|Display, and/or has saved the document in Draft view and the option to 'Allow opening a document in Draft View' is checked, in File|Options|Advanced>General.
