Excel uses the settings from Short Date in Regional and Language Options as
the basis for the footer date format.

You can change it slightly in the Regional Options, but can't set it to
January 25, 2005

A macro will suffice if you want to go that route.

Sub DateInFooter()
ActiveSheet.PageSetup.RightFooter = Format(Now, "mmmm dd, yyyy")
End Sub
