I had that same problem, but I just fixed it by going to Edit > Preferences >
File Types/Editors. In the first field, labeled "Open in Code View", I removed
the file extensions html and .htm, and now the split view and design view are
no longer greyed out. Code view is still available, too.

I had looked at that setting before, but it wasn't clear that "Open in code
view" meant that it would be impossible to view the files in Design view. So
they definitely need an improvement for the user interface there.

The settings you removed are NOT DW's default settings. In other words, the
only way that *.htm and *.html could have gotten into the Open in Code View
field would be if you had put them there.
