Hi
In the home-page we want to show the only 150 words from the {body} field and then a Read More option there will be for full article. Can you Pls, inform me how it can be possible? Will we need to use any plugins for that?
Pls, reply soon.

Hi MindScreen.
You could approach this by adding a custom_field to the Channels field group named “summary” or “intro” for example (perhaps useful for META description as well)
or… If you’re keen to use the body text of an entry, then check out: http://expressionengine.com/downloads/details/word_limiter/

Thanks for the assist, Matt.
MINDSCREEN, did that information from Matt help?
