This is the index.php of the current version of this theme
http://themes.svn.wordpress.org/preference-lite/1.6.5/index.php
in that file, notice the loop here
<?php while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
<?php get_template_part( 'content', get_post_format() ); ?>
<?php endwhile; ?>
that get_template_part() will look for the content-{postformat}.php and use it when it matches the post, and defaults to just content.php
Here are the content-{postformat}.php files in that theme
content-aside.php
content-image.php
content-none.php
content-page.php
content-quote.php
content-single.php
content-status.php
content.php
You have to go over them and change the_content(), if found, to the_excerpt(), if you don’t use post format, just change the content.php one.
Also, all the modifications must be done in child theme only.

Hi hope4autism…I wanted to follow up with Paulapxp’s reply and to see if you were able to get the excerpts in place?
