Install the following worksheet event macro:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
ActiveSheet.PageSetup.CenterFooter = Now
End Sub
Because it is worksheet code, it is very easy to install and use:
1. right-click the tab name near the bottom of the window
2. select View Code - this brings up a VBE window
3. paste the stuff in and close the VBE window
If you save the workbook, the macro will be saved with it.
To remove the macro:
1. bring up the VBE windows as above
2. clear the code out
3. close the VBE window
