Default Formatting Date/Time for NOW()

I would like to have a cell that will automatically make its value the
current date by using the =NOW() but I want it to only be the date and not
the date and time. Is there a way to do this and if so how would I do it?

Thanks Much In Advance,
Rob

format Cells then select the Number tab. On the 'Category' list look for
Date, then take your pick.
