Windows 10: Cortana program intergration

I want to use windows 10 voice recognition in Quickbooks, Word and Excell. I can not find the instruction to set them up. Where do I find these instructions? I have searched Cortana's settings and Quiickbooks preferances, Integrated applications and found no way of providing permission. I hope you can help.

Cortana Notebook

In order to enable the Notebook icon in Cortana, I suggest you to check if you have enabled Cortana.

To enable Cortana, please follow the steps below:

• Go to Cortana.
• Go to Settings.
• Turn on “Cortana can give you suggestions, ideas, reminders, alerts”.

Hope this helps.

I didn't missed any step, the list was gone and gone , even after using lot of programs the programs were not listed in that list.
