@dwanthny ty for the link

@Idolse thanks for the input

What I found out is the documents were saved in a different encoding than calibre is used to converting. Because when you open them with word pad or ms word a dialog box pops up asks you to choose a encoding type. After that is done if you then "save as" over top of the file as a rtf again. At the top of the page in word on the bar by the title it will change to say for example.

The Island - Gene Wolfe.rtf(Compatibility Mode) - Microsoft Word

After that the file will convert just fine. What i had to do in order to work down the list of non nonverted errors and find them very quickly was go to mobi which i had converted to and rate everything that got converted (mobi) with a star and then sort for non stars in all formats and work down the list
