The problem is that Word documents are a heck of a mess and once converted to an eBook format, they will need cleaning up. ePub is the best format for this and it can be converted to Mobi.
As I mentioned in another post, I'm looking for a way to have a TOC. Can you get that going through RTF? I was of the impression that Calibre needed Chapter headings set in order to get a TOC. To me, using Calibre is like being set down in a foreign city and trying to find your way somewhere. Too many alleys, etc.

Sigil is giving me a different set of problems.
