Issue Summary
I originally had my static content in menus via the category module. I am now moving this same static content to the book module.
I need to move the comments from category nodes to book nodes. I need them to appear as comments rather than book pages.
There is only an option to "convert" while I just need to "move" the comments.How can I achieve this while using the comment mover.
I have noticed that if I use the convert->book, the first comment gets converted to a book page and the rest of the comments appear as comments, not very elegant though.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanx

Make a book page, then graft onto this page. There is no other solution as you cannot have comments floating around without a corresponding parent node.

I think I did not express myself correctly:
I have content using the category module:
Alumni Association
--About
--Mission Statement
--Governing Principals
I have Created a Book:
Alumni Association
--About
--Mission Statement
--Governing Principals
I need to move the comments from the category module nodes to the Book module nodes above. If I move a single comment (say)under Mission Statement (say) Comment 1 this appears as a book page link at the Mission Statement node.
Alumni Association
--About
--Mission Statement
----Comment 1
--Governing Principals
I need it to appear as a Comment attached at the Mission statement node not a book page. Can this be done.
Thanks

Yes, that should be possible. You need to enable grafting on book nodes, then, after pruning the comment, navigate to the book node and click 'Graft'.

It does not seem to work that way for my Drupal 4.7.0 install.
I have enabled grafting on book nodes. When I it the prune link a block appears with Block title "Graft".
I have the title of the post within this block with the details of the author and a convert to: drop down list, (I choose book page from this list) and the convert button. I do not have the graft button.
#5
You need to navigate to the target node - graft is a link on that node.

Thanks,
The process of moving comments is straight forward with the comment_mover module.
It would be helpful for new users of the module to use the analogy prune (=copy) and graft (=paste)
One outstanding issue I have is that the comment_mover module does not show up in admin->access control...unless I am missing something.
Thanks for this module, it has made life easier for me.
