    copied!<p>I've found that the cleanest, easiest way to do this is to create a template in ItemStyle.xsl which selects a substring of the body content of the announcement and displays a link below to the article itself. </p> <p>After adding the following code to your ItemStyle.xsl file (in SharePoint Designer navigate to the 'Style Library/XSL Style Sheets' folder), you can modify the web part through the browser, and change the Item Style (Presentation/Styles) to 'ReadMoreAnnouncements'. This code keeps the amount of characters displayed to 190 characters (see the substring($bodyContent,1,190 function call).</p> <pre><code>&lt;xsl:template name="removeMarkup"&gt; &lt;xsl:param name="string" /&gt; &lt;xsl:choose&gt; &lt;xsl:when test="contains($string, '&amp;lt;')"&gt; &lt;xsl:variable name="nextString"&gt; &lt;xsl:call-template name="removeMarkup"&gt; &lt;xsl:with-param name="string" select="substring-after($string, '&amp;gt;')" /&gt; &lt;/xsl:call-template&gt; &lt;/xsl:variable&gt; &lt;xsl:value-of select="concat(substring-before($string, '&amp;lt;'), $nextString)" /&gt; &lt;/xsl:when&gt; &lt;xsl:otherwise&gt; &lt;xsl:value-of select="$string" /&gt; &lt;/xsl:otherwise&gt; &lt;/xsl:choose&gt; &lt;/xsl:template&gt; &lt;xsl:template name="ReadMoreAnnouncements" match="Row[@Style='ReadMoreAnnouncements']" mode="itemstyle"&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;div class="RMAnnouncementsTitle"&gt; &lt;xsl:value-of select="@Title" /&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="RMAnnouncementsBody"&gt; &lt;xsl:variable name="bodyContent"&gt; &lt;xsl:call-template name="removeMarkup"&gt; &lt;xsl:with-param name="string" select="@Body"/&gt; &lt;/xsl:call-template&gt; &lt;/xsl:variable&gt; &lt;xsl:value-of select="substring($bodyContent,1,190)" /&gt; ... &lt;br /&gt; &lt;a&gt; &lt;xsl:attribute name="href"&gt; /Lists/Announcements/DispForm.aspx?ID= &lt;xsl:value-of select="@ID"&gt; &lt;/xsl:value-of&gt; &lt;/xsl:attribute&gt; &lt;xsl:attribute name="class"&gt; RMAnnouncementsMoreLink &lt;/xsl:attribute&gt; read more &lt;/a&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;/xsl:template&gt; </code></pre> <p>This should definitely work, and it's very very easy to implement.</p>
