Red face Editing in Calibre
I want to view my manuscript (.doc) in Calibre to make sure it is formatted correctly for kdp before I upload it. Can anyone explain how to do that? Yes, I'm into self-publishing my masterpiece. Sara

(have not tried. I used to import into Open Office and save asEPUB using a plugin for that)
Preferences: Get plugins: (find on list) DOC

Other ways: save you work as DOCX
Calibre understands that. Whatever you do... PDF is a horrible source. NEVER do that

The DOC Input plugin (which is what theducks is referencing) has always been a hit or miss affair, and it's not maintained. This is my suggestion.
