Default Maximum Characters in a cell

I have more than the maximum characters in a cell and therefore can not see
everything unless I click on the cell itself. Is there a way to expand the
maximum characters allowed to be able to see everything in the cell?

Default Maximum Characters in a cell

Excel's help says that about 1000 characters will be visible in the cell.

But if you add alt-enters to force new lines within the cell, you can see way
more than the documented number.
