addWorksheet(wb, "Sheet 4", gridLines = FALSE, tabColour = "#4F81BD")

## Headers and Footers
addWorksheet(wb, "Sheet 5",
  header = c("ODD HEAD LEFT", "ODD HEAD CENTER", "ODD HEAD RIGHT"),
  footer = c("ODD FOOT RIGHT", "ODD FOOT CENTER", "ODD FOOT RIGHT"),
  evenHeader = c("EVEN HEAD LEFT", "EVEN HEAD CENTER", "EVEN HEAD RIGHT"),
  evenFooter = c("EVEN FOOT RIGHT", "EVEN FOOT CENTER", "EVEN FOOT RIGHT"),
  firstHeader = c("TOP", "OF FIRST", "PAGE"),
  firstFooter = c("BOTTOM", "OF FIRST", "PAGE")
)

addWorksheet(wb, "Sheet 6",
  header = c("&[Date]", "ALL HEAD CENTER 2", "&[Page] / &[Pages]"),
  footer = c("&[Path]&[File]", NA, "&[Tab]"),
  firstHeader = c(NA, "Center Header of First Page", NA),
  firstFooter = c(NA, "Center Footer of First Page", NA)

)

## Need data on worksheet to see all headers and footers
writeData(wb, sheet = 5, 1:400)

writeData(wb, sheet = 7, 1:400)
writeData(wb, sheet = 8, 1:400)

## Save workbook
