Is there a way to create a post excerpt automatically - without filling in the Summary field? For example, can I make EE show the first 50 words of the post body as an excerpt?

Moved this up to the how to forum. There are several options for this, including word limit and character limit plugins that ship with EE and you can read about in Admin -> Utilities -> Plugin Manager.

Word Limiter does the job perfectly. Thank you!
