Hi - I write a script that populates Excel spreadsheet with data from Lotus Notes. I would like to have template for the output file stored as a simple Excel file - single worksheet containing header only (20+ columns, 4 rows).
Then I would like to open additional worksheet and copy that header from first sheet to all others - preserving column formatting.
Here is my code to copy header: 
my $wsheet = $wbook->Worksheets(1);
my $last_row_from_OLE = $wsheet->{UsedRange}->Rows()->Count();
my $last_col_from_OLE = $wsheet->{UsedRange}->Columns()->Count();
my $range = $wsheet->Range($wsheet->Cells(1,1), $wsheet->Cells($last_r
+ow_from_OLE, $last_col_from_OLE) );
$range->Copy();
my $xlPasteColumnWidths = 8;
$range->PasteSpecial({Paste => $xlPasteColumnWidths});

Then I loop through tab names, add new tab and copy the header: 
foreach my $tab_name (@tab_names[1..(scalar  @tab_names - 1)]){
   my $wsheet2 = $wbook->Worksheets->Add( {after => $wbook->Worksheets
+($wbook->Worksheets->{count})} );
   $wsheet2->{Name} = $tab_name;
   $wsheet2->Paste();
}

The header is pasted in but without preserving column widths.
What am I doing wrong? TIA for any pointer/info.
