    Hi,

    I want to display only few words of post (say first 200 chars)? I dont want to use more tag or excerpt for all post so please tell me how can i do this?

    Note: I am already doing substr to get first 200 but then if some post has more tag at 196 characters then it takes only <!-- and makes all disabled after this browser assume comment after this.

    Also, i want full word at end, not cutting of word. I mean if word "interest" comes at 198 then i dont want to display only "int", Just need to ignore whole interest word.

    Please help me how can i do this?

    You can try the Excerpt length plugin for WordPress, but I'm not sure if it only works on excerpts which I suspect.
