Co-worker wants to use Long Date format in header or footer, but it always
displays as short. Older versions of Excel there was a format button. I have
also tried to change the default Date using Control Panel regional & language
setting.....
Thanks
Keith

The options for date format in header/footer is limited to short date
settings in Regional and Language settings.

No difference with older versions..........no format button that I ever
heard of.

To enter a custom formatted date in a header or footer you will need VBA.

ActiveSheet.PageSetup.RightFooter = Format(Date, "mmmm dd, yyyy")
