Hi @Gopikrishna_S

you can follow these steps:

1. Configure the Open Application activity to open Microsoft Word.
2. Add a Click activity to click on the Insert tab in Word. You can use the Indicate on screen option to select the Insert tab.
3. Use another Click activity to click on the Footer button in the Header & Footer group.
4. Add a Type Into activity to enter editing mode for the footer. You can use the Indicate on screen option to select the footer area.
5. Use a Type Into activity to type the desired text in the footer. To add the current date,

DateTime.Now.ToString("dd.MM.yyyy")

6. Add a Send Hotkey activity to exit the footer editing mode. Use the Enter key as the hotkey.
7. Finally, add a Click activity to save the Word document. You can use the Ctrl + S hotkey to save it.
