Add the date and time in Pages on Mac
In a word processing document, you can add the date and time to a header, footer or any other place on a page. In page layout document, you can add the date and time to a header, footer, text box, shape or table.

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
in the bottom-right corner of the menu, then use the controls to change the date and time you want to appear in the field.Note: By default, the date and time you pick appears in the selected field only.
