Converting an EPUB to RTF won't change calibre author names, if you then edit the RTF with Word (where it is - i.e. in the book folder) and save it, then once again it won't alter the calibre author names. And if you convert the edited RTF back to EPUB that won't alter the calibre author names either.
The only time calibre will get the metadata from any format file is when a book is added, or if you use the get metadata from selected format feature in metadata edit.

I agree with what you say but after editing with Word (I use Word 2003) the metadata shows Jones & John, not Jones, John. After editing and saving, I drag the RTF file from the Calibre library into Calibre. At that time the "&" construction shows. Perhaps it has something to do with Word 2003 and using the current version of Calibre. The workaround is to edit the metadata before using Calibre to convert again. I have to say I think Calibre is a great program and I am amazed at all the things it can do.
