No converter for docx exists because no one has written one. It's on my TODO list, but then so are about 300 other things.

There's never going to be a converter for doc as opposed to docx as doc is Gods own nightmare and I have no desire whatsoever to support it.

If you do want to write an input plugin for docx, I'd estimate it would be a few days work to support basic docx features. For me to merge your plugin into calibre it must be in python and not depend on external utilities as otherwise supporting it becomes too much of a headache.
