A UDF and a macro will do the trick.

Sub Props_In_Footer()
With ActiveSheet
.PageSetup.CenterFooter = DocProps("last author")
End With
End Sub

'=DOCPROPS("last author")
'or
'=DOCPROPS("last save time")

Function DocProps(prop As String)
Application.Volatile
On Error GoTo err_value
DocProps = ActiveWorkbook.BuiltinDocumentProperties _
(prop)
Exit Function
err_value:
DocProps = CVErr(xlErrValue)
End Function
