So, with the help of my husband (who has been helping me with this whole issue) I have put together and submitted a support ticket.  If I learn anything useful about how to use legacy materials in P14 I will post here.  =)

In the meantime, I'll fiddle with P14 a bit but will be using P13 for any serious work. =P

Again, I happily paid for my copy of P14 so that they keep up development... fingers crossed for future releases! ;-)
