So first I created the structure, then second, the content and third a view so I can see all the content in one page as a table. However, in some of the content there is so much repetition, so to avoid having to retype the information every time I created a new record, I created a text content that I can embed into all the records that require it. Lets say, I created a text content (with the repeated text) called "common-info", When I create a record that has a field that has information common to other records, I just imbed the "common-info" page into the record. Everything seems to work great so far but now I need to format the imbedded text so that I can only see maybe 100 or so characters. Under views ".../admin/structure/views/view", I see option to "rewrite results" but that does not seem to apply to imbedded text. The other option is under structure ".../admin/structure/types/manage" but this does not work for imbedded text. The third option is when I am creating each record, during the imbedding process, I can choose to display a "teaser". This kind of work but the teaser is just too much information to display and also its not so convenient because I have to modify individual records as I create them. I was hoping there is a solution that can be utilized system-wide since I have already input about 150 records and going back to each individual record would be quite time consuming. Any and all help is appreciated tremendously since I tried to search on the web without much success.
