In Excel 2000, is there any way to make the "Name Box" wider?

I use a lot of long range names for referencing in formulae, so that
the names are more self-explanatory than cryptic.

The "Name Box" is on the same line/toolbar and to the left of the
"Formula Bar" in the default user configuration. The mousepointer
icon used to adjust a vertical boundary doesn't seem to pop up when
the mouse pointer is brought over it.

Any optional trick to be able to read a long range name assigned to a
cell? Can I move the Name Box to somewhere else where there is more
room? The "regular" toolbar space is two lines high and has a whole
lot of empty space.

Thanks,

Fred Holmes
