Is there a way to change the date format in footers and headers.?.these two
items do not seem to pick up the formatting specified for the individual
cells.

Excel in any version uses the Short Date format from Windows Regional settings
in headers/footers.

You can make some minor changes in Regional settings but not too much.

How about a macro to add the date in any format you choose?

Sub DateInFooter()
   With ActiveSheet
       .PageSetup.CenterFooter = Format(Date, "dddd, mmmm-dd-yyyy")
   End With
End Sub
