If you switch to Draft (or Normal) View then in Word 2007, click on the Show
Notes button in the Footnotes Section of the References tab of the Ribbon,
from the pull down at the top of the Notes pane, you can select the
Footnotes Separator and format it as left aligned. In Word 2003 and
earlier, from the View menu, select Normal and then from that menu again,
select Footnotes and the Notes pane will appear.
