Entry To Page Converter is a plugin for Movable Type 4 that enables you to convert Entries into Pages.
Pages are a new feature in MT4 that you can use to create pages that are not really 'entries'. In previous versions of Movable Type, many people used entries for such pages. Now that MT4 has "pages", you can use this plugin to easily convert those old entries into pages. By the way, you can also do the reverse, convert Pages into Entries.
How it Works
On the Entry listing screen, you can select the entries that you want to convert by checking the boxes. Then simply choose "Convert to Page(s)" from the "more actions..." dropdown menu and click "Go". The Entries will immediately be converted to Pages. During the conversion process, the entry is automatically removed from any categories it may have been in, since Pages don't use categories. After the conversion process, you will be redirected to a "Batch Edit" screen for your new pages. Using this screen, you can quickly add Pages to Folders and other minor edits, then hit save. It's that easy.

Requirements
- MT4.0+
Installation
- Download and extract the zip file, then upload the contents of the 'plugins' directory into the 'plugins' directory of your Movable Type installation (often /cgi-bin/mt/plugins/).
- Login to MT and go to the entry listing for the blog you want.
- Select the entries that you want to convert by checking the checkboxes.
- Choose "Convert to Page(s)" more the "more actions..." dropdown box and click "Go"
- (Optional) Add the new pages to Folders and make other edits, then save.
- Rebuild your site.

True enough, John. This one has been on my todo list for some time, after several people requested it. It just took me a while to get around to writing it... ;)

Great job Mike! Didn't try your plugin, but it should be a time saver for many. I've used to create pages as entries on blogs with this very purpose of managing 'pages'...
This plugin would be really excellent if one could choose the blog where these entries converted to pages or vice verse are to be moved ;)
So, basically if I have the pages as entries on blog id 7, which I've used only to be able to add/edit/remove this 'pages' due to the lack of the 'pages' feature prior to movable type v4.x, with this other feature I could tell the plugin to convert these entries to pages and to store them under blog id 2, which I also have my main site...
