4. in openoffice i edit the file and save it as an .odt. then import that file into calibre
5. convert the odt into a mobi.

there's a learning curve to editing it properly in openoffice. if you attempt this method feel free to ask questions.

Why not just extract the html from the mobi file and edit that? Saves lots of steps, and you could still use a spell checker on it if that's the idea.
