  I searched for instruction for creating manual excerpts and finally found a good explanation here, https://en.support.wordpress.com/splitting-content/excerpts/ . I only wonder why in the back-office WP gives in the old editor below the text box for the manually created excerpt or summary a link to the manual of WordPress.org, http://codex.wordpress.org/Excerpt . I vaguely remember I did post an item about this relict a few years ago, but having found this link it is a question of swapping links within the next update of WP. However, there might be some real urgency because there is no link to this explanation about manual excerpts in the new editor. Perhaps the right link can be added there, too. Thanks anyway for helping WP users in 2015!

  This thread appears to duplicate an earlier thread https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/instructions-about-excerpts?replies=3#post-827534

  The subject of these specific instructions was almost indentical the subject of this earlier thread in 2012, but it has not been solved. The new edit mode changes this matter: I can imagine people wanting to have further explanation about excerpts, and the right link might help at that particular point. I realize this thread offers an idea and a suggestion for a solution, but this is surely not critical, except that the old link looks like a relict from the early days of WP.
