Force Excerpt?

    I have been told that it is possible to force excerpts using the ‘the_excerpt();’ tag. However, when I use this in The Loop is displays an excerpt even when viewing a post itself.

    Is there any way around this? Also, if it was possible it would be a lot better for me, is there a way to add a required subject/summary form when writing new posts?

    Thanks.

    Okay, after doing some more searching I found using the following code solves the problem of the excerpts even in posts:

    <?php
    if($p){
    the_content();
    } else {
    the_excerpt();
    }
    ?>

    This will do me for now, but I would still prefer a plugin or hack which adds an extra summary/subject form.
