Yes just copy the content and delite the post

I was looking for this solution. Thanks!

Well I don't give up just so easy ;)
The name of the plugin is "Post Template"
Description:
"....Post Template plug-in from IndiaNIC enables you to use the customized page templates for your blog posts also."

Now I have same options like with the page.
Thank You all....You are Awesome...just like me ;)

After you copy to a page don't forget to delete the post.

I would just copy the contents and create a new page and past it in

Here are a couple of links that may help:

Sorry I am not able to help with this one see mackiejw has given you a good answer.. good luck

I believe it depends on your Theme. I use platform and have options for pages and posts to "hide side bar". Check your post in edit mode and look on the right side, you may have to scroll down a bit
