   Hi,

   When I post an article it shows the full text on the main page, category and archive pages how can I make it to show only the summary. I want it to show the full text when user clicked the article name or coming from a search engine...

   Thank you,
   Leo

   While writing a post, hover your mouse over those little buttons at the top of the post editor. One of those is "more".

   Or you can add it manually by typing <!--More--> in your post where you want the break.

   Your other option is to slightly change your theme's index.php to use the_excerpt() instead of the_content(). Then, using the excerpt reloaded plugin (google is your friend to find it) you can customize how/what the_excerpt shows.
