with

Still didn't help!
The location set for where wordconv is shouldn't prevent the plugin from loading. If it is wrong, then there will be an error when you try to do a converion

If "DOC Input" isn't showing in the Input Options, then it isn't installed. If you have done the install, then there is probably an error during calibre startup. Firstly, check if the plugin is listed in the plugins page of the preferences. If it is missing from there, try reinstalling it. If it is still missing, restart calibre in debug mode (right click on preferences and choose the option). When calibre starts, close it again and the debug log will be displayed. Look for any errors near the start of the log. Post the error and I'll see if I can work out what is wrong.

Of course I can convert to Docx, in which case it should work. But still I prefer to use DocInput plugin, as DOC is the default format of Word 2013, which I am using.
Are you sure of that? I would have said that Word change to docx as the default before Word 2013. Are you sure you haven't changed the default? In any case, I would recommend docx as the input format if you can. All the DOC Input plugin is doing is converting the doc to a docx and calling then converting that.
