Default Pivot tables do not display all the text in a cell

When a cell has a significant amount of text, only the first 200 or so
characters are displayed in a pivot table. Is there anyway to increase this?

A pivot table cell will show a maximum of 255 characters, and you can't
increase that limit.

Yes, in Excel 2007 it's increased to over 32,000 characters
