Use the Option Inspector and enter at Notebook Options / Printing Options / Page Footers the following StringReplace call: In[1]:= StringReplace[ ToString[Part[Date[], {3, 2, 1}]], {"{" -> "", "}" -> "", ", " -> "/"}] Out[1]= "1/ 4/ 2004" but Mathematica complains about unknown "box names" (). Playing around with StyleBox[] and Evaluate[] led to no success. Maybe some of the "Layout-Savants" in this group are able to help.
