dwanthny, I just went to Calibre to view and convert a .DOC file. You are quite correct. It opened the external viewer app and is not available for convert. Newbie assumptions based on a successful import of the format.

Open Office is very similar in look and handling to the older version of MS Word, making this a very easy transition for those who don't want to expend $$$ on MS Word. Almost no learning curve involved in getting started. Calibre will import the .odt file, is using the external app for viewing, but successfully converts the file to epub.

Many thanks to Fan, for the link. I'm going to give it a try and see if it works better than the OpenOffice/plugin. Very handy resource.
