I loaded a .doc document into Calibre and tried to convert it. I got an error saying there was no "source format" to use.

1. I haven't got a clue what a "source format" is.

Assuming I need one:

2. I haven't got a clue where or how to get such a thing, and the Helps go on and on about Font size rescaling, Paragraph spacing, Page Setup, Heuristic Processing, etc., but I found nothing about - "source formats" --- If they are going to require something, they should at least have an easy to find explanation of how to lay your hands on one. If it's in the program, it should be in the helps.

Help?
