It's done via a "SDK" of sorts - it's a dll included/used to be included
with the QuickBooks install - can't remember what it's called though.  All
this tool does is export specified information from QuickBooks into an IIF
file, which is then read into the MS tools. It's purpose was to integrate
Intuit products such as the old standalone US QuickPay, the timer, etc.  I
think most of it is done via some other methods these days.

You could get the same effect by exporting the information manually from
QuickBooks and manipulating it using word, excel, etc.
