"WARNING: Could not convert some books: Could not convert 1 of 1 books, because no suitable source format was found."

Calibre seems to recognize that it is a .docx file, as it displays this in the section of the main screen under the book cover.

I want to convert to MOBI, but this error occurs before I designate the output format.

If I first save the .docx file as PDF, it converts with no problem. I understand the result will have fewer annoyances if I start with a .docx file, so I would prefer to do so.

I suggest you upgrade to a later version of calibre, preferably the very latest, the support for DOCX has been greatly enhanced even since 0.9.34.
