Hi,

I'm pretty new to the Calibre program, but is seems very nice and functional. I have a specific problem with which I could use some guidance.

I have a number of DOC files (Word DOC) that I need to convert to a MOBI format.... So, I open these files within Microsoft Word (Macintosh version 2004) save them as RTF, then add them to the library of Calibre.... from there, I attempt to convert to MOBI, and I am met with an error that is very cryptic, but seems to indicate something about fonts and such....

Next, I figured that I would try to do this on a Windows machine running Word 2007..... the same sequence above worked..... (even the Calibre was the windows version)

Unfortunately for me, the windows solution is not optimal.... so I was hoping that someone here may be able to point me in the right direction to a solution for this issue....

Thanks

Kos
