How will Microsoft Office 2013 or Office 365 integrates with QuickBooks

QuickBooks Enterprise 2012 R9 is not designed to work with Office 2013; it was designed for Office 2012. The two can’t be really compatible when Enterprise V12 was released way before the official release of Office 2013.

However there are several instances where QuickBooks can be used together with Excel 2013 and below are some examples;

Exporting reports from QBs to Excel: Select a report; click the Excel button as shown below and select create a new worksheet.

Making a choice between a 32 bit and a 64 bit computer

Most people are now migrating to 64 bit computers and 32 bit are slowly being phased out, the question then arises if one also needs a 64 bit Microsoft Windows on a 64 bit computer. Although it allows for more memory while working, I doubt if people will really need it.

My final verdict is that people should just stick to using 32 bit Version of Office even if they have 64 bit systems, this is because many applications including QuickBooks will have problems with the 64bit version of Office.
