BLF - I'm no autority, but "conforming" means adjusting one object to another, it will then change automatically if you change the master object. Morphing is just changing one object, I guess.

Still searching... the answers must be out there somewhere...

not necessarily.  conforming figure a to figure b means giving figure a  the same pose and body position as figure b. if you want it to be offset, you don't want it technically to conform.  what you want is it to have the same pose but a different position.  that's not conforming, that's the same as, say, taking one figure, posing it, then moving the whole figure, saving the pose (which, iirc, won't save body position), then loading another figure, positioning it,  and applying that pose.
