How can I fix this?

There are two unspoken rules to prevent this problem.

1) If you don't need unique differences between the compose and read
forms, do not split them. I know that on some versions of Outlook, the
custom form template opens up in split mode. I think this was a terrible
choice my Microsoft, even if it stopped some wails about not knowing how
to split forms. But there are even more people who are not using split
forms when they have no need to do so, and are experiencing the
difficulties that you have.

2) Design the common elements first, then split the form. When you do
this, the read form controls that are automatically created in the
splitting operation use the compose form name, and you see their content
as expected.

So, assuming that you really do not need a split form, you should uncheck
the option in the forms menu that gives you the split forms. It will
gnash its teeth and say that you will lose all your design on the read
form, but as you really do not have any unique stuff there, you OK the
loss and all is well, with the reader seeing all that the composer sees.

If, by chance, you actually do have some unique elements on the read
form, copy them, unsplit the form losing whatever, split the form again
so that all the common controls are set up properly, then paste in those
controls that you copied.
