   First off Im using the following:
   Theme Desk Mess Mirrored with 4 Widgets
   You are using WordPress 3.2.1.

   Im not using a static 1st page but I am using the plugin called Blog Introduction which shows an introduction before posts.

   The problem Im having is that my 1st page shows my most recent posts in FULL which I dont want.
   Ive tried to go to settings / reading and set each article to show Summary
   But that has no effect.
   I've also tried the plugin "Excerpt" and set it to display 40 words. Still my most recent posts on my main page show up in full.

   Anyone know what Im doing wrong?

   the theme mentioned above uses the_content (http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/the_content) to display your post data on the home page. If you have the <!--more--> quicktag in your posts then it should display only the text above that tag. Otherwise it will display the full post content.

   Ive tried to go to settings / reading and set each article to show Summary
   

   that setting is for rss feeds only.

   there might be the possibility to locate the template for the front page (possibly index.php; or see http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Hierarchy)
   and replace the_content(); with the_excerpt();
