Edit Links Box Too Small

I’m using Excel 2013
When I go to Data, Connections, Edit Links, and the “Edit Links” window pops up, I can see near the bottom left the “Location” of the file(s).
Well, almost see, because when the pathname is long, (as it is in each corporate that I have worked for, over the decades), then one can only see part of the pathname.

Is there a way for me to see the full pathname, as the first part is always the same, but obviously,
the second part is the more important, eg when rolling files from month “X” directory, to month “Y” directory.

Most pop ups can be resized, not this one.
I would have thought MS would have fixed this problem many years ago.

A VB solution would be acceptable.
 

Excel Facts

Why are there 1,048,576 rows in Excel?
The Excel team increased the size of the grid in 2007. There are 2^20 rows and 2^14 columns for a total of 17 billion cells.
You can view all the links in the active book with this code
Code:
Sub a()
    With ActiveWorkbook
        If Not IsEmpty(.LinkSources(xlExcelLinks)) Then
            For Each strindex In .LinkSources(xlExcelLinks)
                Debug.Print strindex
            Next
        End If
    End With
End Sub
It's probably not a stretch at this point to change the links via find/replace and then update the link to the new value
