Compatibility of Sage software with Microsoft Office
Description

Sage software has the flexibility to integrate with Microsoft Office in several ways. You're able to email your documents, quickly send accounts data to Microsoft Excel and Excel Integrated Reporting (EIR).

To use these features, use a compatible version of Microsoft Office that you install locally on the same computer as your Sage software.

NOTE:

 Excel Integrated Reporting is only compatible with 32-bit Microsoft Office. You can only use integrated Microsoft 365 features with Sage 50 Accounts.

Google and Microsoft changes

These providers retired basic authentication in September 2024. If you use either of these in your Sage software to send emails via SMTP, you need to update your settings. 

For more information, visit our changes to SMTP email authentication affecting Sage software guide. 

Check if your versions are compatible

  1. To check your Sage 50 version number, within your software - on the menu bar go to Help, then About.
  2. To find out the version of Office you're using, go to support.microsoft.com.

CAUTION:

The 'New Outlook' interface isn’t compatible with Sage 50 software. Revert to the classic style if you're currently using the new version.

To check if you're using the new look outlook, check the top right of the window, see the screenshot below:
