I will admit to cheating in my testing. I don't have the conversion program installed. I simply created a file with the correct name in a few places. But, both versions of calibre save the location with no problems.

David,
The version I installed was the one in post #20
I just double checked, I changed it in Preferences to "...Program Files (86)\Microsoft Office\..." I then went to another book and it was showing "...Program Files\Microsoft Office\... Just to be sure I clicked Restore Defaults, nothing changed. So I went to Preferences and it was the same there - "...Program Files\Microsoft Office\..."
Where is the default setting saved ? As far as I see when I change the default nothing is written in the %CALIBRE_CONFIG_DATA%\calibre\plugins, the %CALIBRE_CONFIG_DATA%\calibre directories, nor in the relevant metadata.db.
If I change the path on an individual book then then metadata.db is updated and when I go back to that book the correct path is there.
Bottom line - the path sticks if its changed at the book level, it doesn't stick if the default is changed
