Shortcut key to center-align text:

Text alignment is a fundamental formatting feature in word processing that controls how text is positioned horizontally between the margins. Center alignment places text an equal distance from both the left and right margins, often used for headings, titles, or short blocks of text to create a symmetrical appearance. The standard keyboard shortcut to apply center alignment in many applications, including Microsoft Word, is Ctrl + E. This shortcut efficiently toggles the selected text or current paragraph to be centered. The other options are incorrect: Ctrl + C is the universal shortcut for 'Copy' selected content. Ctrl + M is typically used for indenting paragraphs or creating a new slide in presentation software. Ctrl + L is the shortcut for 'Left Align' text, positioning it flush with the left margin.
