  • would the entire Microsoft 365 need to be 32 bit

    As far as I know, you either have 32-bit Office or 64-bit Office.  You can't pick-and-choose the bit-ness because there are many components shared by the Office apps.

     i am using microstation V8I

    MicroStation V8i is 32-bit.  It won't work with Office 64-bit, which explains the error messge you posted. 

    If your organisation has standardised on 64-bit apps they will also need to move on to MicroStation CONNECT, which is a Windows 64-bit app.

    IT was able to locate, download and install the 32-bit for me. I can't say what they did or how they did it but when I came back, I had 32-bit 365, and all my software was able to work together

    Alternatively, do what  did, and persuade IT to roll back your Office installation to 32-bit.
