Holly,

I am a Flare user, but am creating content in Flare and not converting  
it, so I can't answer your questions.

The MadCap user forums are good places to post specific Flare  
questions. You do need to register (it's free) to post, but you can  
review existing content without registering.

Good luck,
Tracey
