I have a file I downloaded in .rar format. When I tried to convert it, Calibre told me it couldn't find a valid format. I un-rar'd the file into its .doc format and tried to convert it, but got the same error. When I tried to open the .doc with OpenOffice, it opened perfectly.

I actually downloaded 15 files from the same source. Five of them converted OK. Ten had the problem I just described. The ten failures were all in .doc format.

One set of the offending rar/doc sets is attached. I'd appreciate any help.

TIA...
