How to select a paragraph other than the 1st to be the post’s excerpt?

In WordPress using the Gutenberg Block Editor, in the control panel to the right, you have an excerpt box:
Gutenberg Block Editor Excerpt

In the Classic Editor you have a metabox under the main post content area:
Classic Editor Excerpt

If you don’t see it there, go to the top of your screen, on the right under the WP Admin Bar, click “Screen Options” and make sure the “Excerpt” option is clicked.
