I would also suggest investigating the excerpt field. With a little bit of coding and a customized template, you could use this to good effect without having to only display excerpts for all posts. (i.e. you could display the excerpts only for posts which use them, but display the normal full post otherwise).

Oops..my code didn’t show up. Anyway, there’s a simple more tag:

that can be placed where ever they’d like their page to break.

There already is such a plug-in and I have been using it on my blog:

or just type

where ever they’d like the page to break.

The simplest solution is an automatic one, as Dhoughal suggests. My Evermore plugin is one. Just install it and it works -- users don't have to worry about "more" tags or extra input boxes. The Evermore WordPress plugin page has details. It also has links to a few similar plugins written by other people. One of these plugins should fit the bill.

There a several automatic "more" plugins. My own plugin Evermore is one of the simplest. The Evermore WordPress plugin page has details, and also descriptions and links to a few similar plugins written by other people. For most non-tech-savvy users, one of these will be better than "more" tags or separate input boxes.

Try Ecto — it runs on both Windows and Macs, and has just what you’re looking for.

I’m only a user with no programming skills, but:
How about an automatic page break? I imagine having an option in WP with which the user/admin could specify a number of lines after which a post should be divided into multiple pages. This way post authors wouldn’t have to make the page breaks manually.

I agree with Doug, having one input box means I don’t have to move stuff back and forth as I edit my post. I just delete or move the “more” tag as needed.

I would rather have a “delayed more” tag offered. The concept is that the post would remain whole for a preset period of time, and then automatically break at the “delayed more” point after that time has elapsed.

In my experience with MT and WP, the “more” tag we have is much easier to use than another input box, both at the time of initial writing and later when I hide the rest of a post.
