How to find the address of a document

It is possible to find a document by using Spotlight. In Spotlight, if one selects the desired document and hits the command key, the address of the document will try to show up along the lower right edge of the Spotlight window. However, usually the address will not fit in such a small space. This is a problem if one wishes, not merely to open the document, but actually to locate it so that it may be moved or its name may be changed.


How is this to be accomplished? Perhaps there is some way to make the Spotlight window larger, but the solution does not seem to be document, nor to be at all obvious.

Command click the item in Spotlight to open a window at that location.
