Despite the number of events that have to be converted I suggest you do them individually. There are differences in the data that can be stored as an event and the data that can be stored with the vital events of Born, Bapt/Chr, Died and Burial in the main part of the individual edit screen. The most serious of these is that any entry in the Event Description will not move since there is no Description field in the vital events where this can be stored.
By doing each item separately you can make sure that all the data for the Baptism events are copied correctly to the Bapt/Chr portion of the screen and you may elect to keep the separate events if there is data in the Description that you want to preserve.
