The answer is to press F2 then press Control A. That will take you to the

I don't think WordPad allows you to have multiple documents open at once.
But when you want a new document just press control N the way you would in
most other Microsoft programs. The difference is you will be prompted to
save the first document before a new one is created if you haven't done so
most of
my documents are saved in that. I wrote some more, worked like a top.

Actually when centering a line of text you don't have to highlight the line.
Just put the cursor anywhere in the line and CTRL+E will center the whole
thing. Centering is considered paragraph formatting (like line spacing and
the like) so it applies to the whole paragraph the cursor is in.
