lpackard on "[Plugin: WordPress SEO by Yoast] Yoast WordPress SEO: Auto generate excerpts from meta description?"

WordPress version: 3.5.1
WordPress SEO version: 1.4.12

Is there any way to automatically generate a post's excerpt from the Meta Description field? It would be a huge time savings to not need to set up both items on every blog post, but the plugin doesn't seem to do that automatically.

Another way around it I suppose would be to rewrite the archive.php file to pull the meta description field instead of the excerpt field, but I am not php savvy enough to do that.

What would I replace this line with, in order for it to pull the meta description instead?

<?php the_excerpt(); ?>
