Yes, exactly -- I write a Word doc, add it to Calibre, then convert it to mobi.

Before I add the Word doc to Calibre, I typically go into the Word doc's properties and edit those. As a result, when I import it into Calibre the metadata for the title and author auto-populates.

However, if I've not edited the Word doc's properties, when I import it into Calibre the title and author fields are blank. Then I go in and manually add the information.

The screen shots I provided above show the title and author fields manually entered by me.
