I am not sure how to write into Excel 2007 format (*.xlsx) but there is a
package that makes writing (and reading) excel files in the older format
(*.xls) fairly easy.  This package is called xlsReadWrite. 

To read an excel file in using this package:  
foo<-read.xls(file="filename.xls", colNames=TRUE, rowNames=TRUE,
sheet="Sheet1", type="data.frame",checkNames=TRUE)

To write an excel file using this package:
write.xls( foo, "filename.xls", colNames = TRUE)

It is fairly easy to use and Excel 2007 easily reads and write to this older
format.
