Yes, you're right. This was some ancient sci-fi story from a long defunct 1920's magazine I found somewhere, with "mso..." in the code. As for "well-formed DOCX", I guess the people who do that are pretty rare, and mostly never heard of styles! When I find one of these old chestnuts, if it has "mso-whatever" all over it, it's usually a terrible mess. Maybe converted several times, as well. Often it's so bad I just have Calibre make an RTF out of it, and start over in LibreOffice and/or gedit - remove all the formatting, preserve italics if possible, and rebuild it. Often faster than trying to correct it in the Calibre editor. LibreOffice plays really well for this. Thanks for the tip on Mammoth, I'll look into that.
