When you are performing an Xmodem or MacBinary file transfer in the Communications module of Microsoft Works, the error message “Settings must specify 8 data bits to use Send/Receive file?” may appear if the settings are set to anything other than 8 bits.

When you try to send or receive a file, 8 Bits must be specified in the Communications Settings dialog box (on the Communications menu) because the only file transfer protocols supported by Works are 8-bit protocols.

To transfer information to a system that does not support one of the Works file-transfer protocols (MacBinary, Xmodem Text, Xmodem Data), use Send Text and Receive Text instead of Xmodem or MacBinary.
