To place it in the header or footer, move the pointer over the top or bottom of the page until you see the header or footer area, then click any of the three text fields (you can use any combination of the fields for your header or footer). To learn more about headers and footers, see Add and remove headers and footers.

Change date and time formats: Click the Format pop-up menu, then choose how you want the date and time to be displayed.
Change the date and time: Click
