Default Hide most of the data in a cell

I need a way for a cell to contain a paragraph but I want it to show only the
first word until the cell is clicked. Is there a way to do that? Thanks.

For all of the paragraph except the first word, format the font the same
color as the background color. Thus only the first word will be visible.
However, if you click on the cell, the entire paragraph will be visible in
the formula bar.
