itimpi, can you tell me where I can see the list of formats that Calibre can store but not convert

Its not the Behaviour->Inputs list, because that does not have .doc, only .docx; but I can drop .doc's into the Book Details panel and they show up as a format.

I think the only thing that Calibre can do with a .doc is to store it in a book folder, open it in the associated program, and open it in a program designated in Open With.

This begs the question, so why can't it store .xls, ppt, mp3, .avi... files and do the same with them ?

thanks BR
