Make long strings visible?

After data is saved in our spreadsheet each day, we usually mark
both the spreadsheet and workbook as password "protected".
This prevents users from changing data on our spreadsheets.
The problem is, sometimes we have string data that exceeds the
width of cells, which hides most of the string in that cell. Are there any
methods to allow a user to view the complete string in the above type
of scenario?? If the user double clicks on a string cell can I just display
that string in MsgBox or something?? Any other ideas?
Thank you!

Hi Robert,
Maybe something like this where all you have to do is select the a cell.
Option Explicit
Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim x As String
x = ActiveCell.Value
If x = "" Then Exit Sub
MsgBox x
End Sub
