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

There is no specific keystroke for going to the middle of a line - "middle
of line has no meaning in Word. However Ctrl+Left/Right Arrow moves the
insertion point one word at a time. That's about the most efficient way
without using the mouse (which is what I assume the incomplete subject of
your post was intended to be).

The Home key jumps to the beginning of a line, End to the end of a line.
