Answers.Text: Ah, this is grand Victor, thank you. This achieves what I want on this scale, though if I were ever to have multi-page entries, it wouldn't work as well. For my current circumstances, will work great!

Answers.Text: If you have multiple page articles you have three possibilities: (1) Ignore the first page and start the pagebreak at the second. (2) Write a simple redactor plugin which mimics the pagebreak functionality and call it excerpt. (3) Use a separate field for an excerpt.

Body: <p>I love using the excerpt option in Wygwam (CKEditor). I've looked high and low but as of yet, have been unable to find a way to have an exceprt show short of having a whole second field. I have seen a custom Twig filter running around that would allow to show first paragraph (which I could modify to show whatever) but I like the ease of doing it straight in the WYSIWYG. Anyone have any options? (looking for a solution for a news roll page)</p>

  You could use the Redactor's pagebreak plugin. Check [out the docs](http://buildwithcraft.com/docs/rich-text-fields#templating).
  
  If activated in your Redactor config, you will have the option to insert page breaks to your content, via a new “Insert Page Break” toolbar button.
  
  Now you can get the first "page" in your template:
  
  ```
  {% for entry in craft.entries.section('blog') %}
      <article>
          <h1><a href="{{ entry.url }}">{{ entry.title }}</a></h1>
  
          {{ entry.richTextFieldHandle.getPage(1) }}
  
          {% if entry.richTextFieldHandle.getTotalPages() > 1 %}
              <a href="{{ entry.url }}">Continue reading…</a>
          {% endif %}
      </article>
  {% endfor %}
  
  ```
