I'm not for sure this is what you hand in mind, but for what it might be worth.

Common Shortcuts
Ctrl-Z undo an action
Ctrl-Home move to beginning of a document
Ctrl-End move to the end of a document
Ctrl-A select the whole document
Ctrl-Shift-F8 & arrow keys select a vertical block of text
Ctrl-B apply bold formatting
Ctrl-I apply italic formatting
Ctrl- equal apply subscript formatting
Ctrl-Shift-Plus apply superscript formatting
Crtl-X cut text or graphics to clipboard
Ctrl-C copy text or graphics to clipboard
Ctrl-V paste clipboard contents
Ctrl-Shift-Hyphen insert a non-breaking hyphen
Ctrl-Shift-Space insert a non-breaking space
Tab move to the next cell in a table
Shift-Tab move to the previous cell in a table
Ctrl-Tab insert tab in table cell
Alt-Ctrl-M insert a comment
Ctrl-K insert hyperlink
Ctrl-F open Find dialog menu
Ctrl-H open Find & Replace dialog menu
Ctrl-G open Goto dialog menu
double-click on header/footer opens view header/footer
Alt-F11 open VBA editor
Ctrl-Alt-P switch to page layout view
Shift-F9 toggle display of field codes for whole document

Default How do I navigate most quickly to the center of a line,not usi

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.
