Default display unabbreviated month in text, from system date?

How would one write a formula to enable a cell in a workbook to always
display the current month, in text format, unabbreviated, just by parsing the
system date - no input required from the user?

Try this:

=TEXT(TODAY(),"MMMM")

Does that help?

Put =NOW() into the cell in question. Set the formatting in the cell
to "mmmm" (no quotes).
