@Westlyn I don't think there's a OneClick solution - but maybe something like the following will do it - but make sure you test it out on a few books first, because I haven't
  1. save the DOCs in library to 'someplace' using the Save to Disk function
  2. run the doc-to-rtf rename utility on .doc files in the 'someplace' folder
  3. set Add Books preferences to merge new formats into existing books
  4. add the .rtf files in the 'someplace' folder to the library (they should merge if you have the file names and Add Books preferences 'aligned')
  5. search for books with DOC and RTF formats
  6. remove the DOC formats from those books
