Thank you!
Forget this plugin. Since Kovid wrote the built-in DOCX Input module, it has been easier to do the conversion from .DOC to .DOCX as a separate task, and then add the resultant DOCX to calibre.

Assuming you don't have access to Word 2007 or later: search the web for 'convert .doc to docx'. There are several online converters, and some installable utilities.

There are several ways to convert DOCX to EPUB, via calibre conversion, via the calibre editor, via the Mammoth utility, or via Sigil using its DOCX Import plugin (which is a wrapper around Mammoth).
