It seems even though the insert metadata is selected in common options, it will be ignore until selected within convert individually menu. Only then as you both rightly say, will then be active.

It doesn't really matter as it is working now once selected and saved via convert individually menu, but thought I should point it out in case any other newbies have the same trouble I did.
They ARE used for any book that has NOT been CONVERTED ONCE (or more). They are the Defaults.
Since each book can be unique, you can fine tune each conversion at the book level and it will be remembered (unless you clear it).
