Without having to use external tool, the only other way I have found to see it from the interface is to increase the length of the column, which could be very long, assuming the value is big.

This is only used in case the application does not repond. Like, right now, I have migrating the environment to SQL Server. So, not all my options work from the Web site. And, one of them is the Error log which contains some fields like that.
