[support] How do you convert one node type into another?

[Bill Fitzgerald]

In 4.7 or 5, the Views module will solve these issues -- Views plus 
Panels will give you even more flexible options.

Have I mentioned that this will work in 4.7? No upgrade needed! --

But 5 is realllly nice :)

Cheers,

Bill
