OK, I figured it out and I'm going to post my answer in case it helps someone else.
I can get what I want with these settings:
"post content" (NOT excerpt)
Delete any character limit
Uncheck the "include featured image" box if you have both a post image and a featured image.I can see that this works with 1 problem--I only recently started using the more-tag. The posts without a more tag will show the entire post in the list. I had thought that the character limit was only used if there was no more tag but it seems like if you put a character limit in the box, it overrides the more-tag.
Correct me if I'm wrong...
Thank you for your help.
Ok, let's start over again. Either I am misunderstanding something or I'm not explaining what I want well.
My archive page: http://stress-free-mama.com/blog/ (This is NOT a single post page)
What I want:
I want the post "teasers" to display my content up to the more-tag, if there is a more tag.
I would like the content formatting (paragraphs, etc.) to be present.
I would like a live "read more" hyper-link to the rest of the post.What I have:
The post "teasers" only display 350 characters
The formatting is stripped.
The setting is on "post content". If I change the setting to "excerpt", the "read more" hyperlink disappears and I have "[...]" (no link) in its place.I have played around with post content vs. excerpts and I can't get it to work. I have also played around with the number of characters displayed.
I am using the Agency theme.
Right now, I only have 1 post with the more-tag in it--the top post called "Stress Expert Jan Bruce..."
How do I get from what I have to what I want?
Thank you again for your help. I have tried to read the WordPress codex and get this figured out but there is something I am missing.

No.
The more-tag is inserted after several paragraphs of content. In the URL I gave you above, the content is displaying the default amount on content, as if there wasn't a more-tag.
Hi Alan,
Thank you for your help but unfortunately that didn't do it. Somehow the setting on the blog page trumps the setting on the home page. I did some more tweaking to try to get it to work but still can't figure it out.
Any other ideas for me?
Thank you!
Julia
Update, if you check my site, the slider appears to be working correctly. The problem is NOT fixed, however. Category #48 has one post and I made the slider exclude that single post in order for it to temporarily look right.
I still need some clues about why it can't exclude an entire category.
Thanks!

Thank you, Thank you. I got it all worked out. Sorry I missed the blog page template part, but I ended up using the second suggestion anyway. It looks great now.
I tried a different category number and had the same problem.
@idchowdhury
Thank you for your idea but it doesn't really accomplish what I want. I want to create a page that has content on the top and the list of posts in that category beneath. Thank you for your help. I'll keep experimenting.
