I would build a user control to display the article. You can build this to
look like your example. I would then build the Access query to populate the
article using the LEFT function on your description field like this:

SELECT Articles.Title, LEFT(Articles.Description,10)
FROM Articles;


The read more link would open another page (i'm assuming) and there might be
another user control that uses a full query instead of the one above.

Is this what you were needing?
