OK I tried the plug in also and set the word limit to 999 it also displayed the full post from the category link. Thanks folks. It has a configuration tab below settings .
I am not HTML savvy I would like to copy and paste the code to try it but I don’t know where to look to insert. I did install the Advanced Excerpts and it does not present an interface to configure it to show the full post. Stuck in a quagmire of technobabble.
