Thank you all.
Good to hear we have solved it.

L.E.
So far out of 20 books about 4 gave an error, but not the infamous can't find wordconv error. So unchecking the checkbox actually mght have done the trick regarding the stored path.
The current error seems to be related to the conversion itself (maybe even a corrupt file?)
I'd suggest running wordconv against them manually to see what happened. Hopefully that will show errors if it is the file.

Using a custom column, "Formats" I'll be able to easily identify the books which did not convert (they only have the DOC format) and check them.


Off topic:
And when you think all my effort was only to be able to count words using Count Pages plugin... and yet its results seem so inaccurate (same book converted to 3 different formats in calibre, split to three different ids and counted words ... and the results differe by large, even 5-10% in word numbers... who knows, is it counting empty paragraphs...)
I haven't tried that. Hopefully there isn't any text being lost. It's probably some artefact of the conversions adding tags or something that are getting counted as words.
