Actually, that is already set up. Use View | Header Footer. The cursor
will be on the left, insert your date. then hit tab (and it will jump
to the center), hit tab again and it will jump to the right edge, and
you can use the icon on the header/footer toolbar to insert the page number.

I'm sure it's simple, but I can't figure it out.
