If ActiveDocument.Footnotes.Count >= 1 Then
    With ActiveDocument.ActiveWindow.View
        .Type = wdPrintView
        .SeekView = wdSeekFootnotes
    End With
End If

With ActiveDocument.ActiveWindow.View

    .SeekView = wdSeekFirstPageFooter
End With

If the selection is in a footnote or endnote area in print layout view, this example switches to the main document.

Set myView = ActiveDocument.ActiveWindow.View
If myView.SeekView = wdSeekFootnotes Or _
    myView.SeekView = wdSeekEndnotes Then
    myView.SeekView = wdSeekMainDocument
End If
