Thanks gls858. I've done that but the format is "dd/mm/yy" and I would like
it to be "dd-mm-yy".

Thanks.

Go to file page setup then select the header/footer tab.
Click on the custom footer button select the icon
that looks like a little calender. It should place
a variable for date &[Date] in whatever section you
have selected.
