I should have been more clear, my apologies. I would like to get to the
center of a line without using a mouse. Just as one can navigate immediately
to the end of a line or the beginning using the "home" and "end" key, how can
one get to the middle in one stroke? I do tons of tedious edits in a document
and this would save me loads of time.

Gratefully,

E125,

If you assign the following macro to a shortcut key, it will move your
cursor to the center of the line.

Sub MoveCursorToCenterOfLine()
Dim nCount As Long
Selection.Bookmarks("\line").Range.Select
nCount = Selection.Characters.Count / 2
Selection.Collapse wdCollapseStart
Selection.Move wdCharacter, nCount
End Sub
