You need to update the field after inserting it outside the header or footer.

To insert:

  • Type Alt-F9 to switch on field display
  • Type Ctrl-F9 to enter field
  • Type PAGE to enter page field
  • Type Alt-F9 to shut down field display
  • Type F9 to update the fields

To manually add DATE:

  • Type Alt-F9 to switch on field display
  • Type Ctrl-F9 to enter field
  • Type DATE to enter date field
  • Type Space to add extra space, there should be 2 spaces! (enable display formatting if you want to see the spaces)
  • Type Alt-F9 to shut down field display
  • Type F9 to update the fields

As you can see, adding the right number of spaces in the formulas is critical. By adding the fields through the Ribbon (Insert, Text group, Fields) you can see how Word is creating the fields itself. If you are familiar with the formatting you can easily type Ctrl-F9 with the formula and update all with F9.
