Can this be done through "Calibre" or do I need to find special tools to do this?
Can anybody help me here!!
Kindest regards

I'll leave it to others to recommend the tools for converting various word processing formats to the various e-book formats. What I recommend is looking under the hood at what is involved in the process; learning about the various files and functions that go into the conversion. For example, here is a pretty straightforward tutorial that describes the process in detail for creating your own epubs:

I was pretty surprised at the level of complexity and the number of standards involved in the process. It took me a few days to re-familiarize myself with xml/xhtml protocols, but the experience was well worth it: false starts notwithstanding.
