I was wondering if there is a way to mix text and a formula in a cell. I'd
like to embed today's date (using the function =TODAY()) in the middle of a
sentence. Thanks.

Like this??

="On this date, "&TEXT(TODAY(),"mmmm dd, yyyy")&" I wrote this forumula."

Try this:

="Today's date is "&TEXT(TODAY(),"mmm/dd/yy")&" , and you're Late!"

Try something like:
="Date is: "&TEXT(TODAY(),"dd mmm yyyy")
