I hate to tell you, but (as Garfield also points out) the default setting is
to show the white space. You probably toggled it off by clicking at the
wrong time and place; see

My Word 2003 opens a new document with no header/footer spaces and
requires
user to "View"/"Headers and footers." Which MS braniac thought this was a
good idea. Older versions opened with headers/footers and an option to
turn
them off. Oddly, the template (Normal.dot) opens with headers/footers.
Why
doesn't a document that is based on the template? If this is just my
machine, then how do I change it? If it is supposed to be part of the MS
Word Improvement program, it ain't...change it back!
