How do I import K2 items? was created by librarian

I have built up quite the library on my website using a Joomla! component called "K2" - it works ok, but FlexiContent seems better suited to my needs.

I went through the motions of importing Joomla! Content and 'bound' it to a particular category. I did this with only ONE category to see how it would work. Now I want to import all of the items I have created with K2 into FlexiContent, but I don't know if it will a) recognize that section/category and b) duplicate all of the news articles I have already imported . It is important to note that the extensive amount of items I created for my online Library were created within K2 and are therefore not com_content.

Do any of the developers have any tips for me? Is there a way that I can copy them into the database into particular tables? What do I need to do? I got this component specifically to migrate the K2 items over as the templating in K2 is incredibly difficult and just gives me fits!

I would appreciate any and all help here :mrgreen:
