jumping to a character position in Word

[ahha]

Is there a way to jump or goto or move ahead in Word a specific number of characters? Pressing the right kay is very slooowww.

I have an external program that has identified regions of interest based on a character count and I would like to open the document in Word and jump to a location based on the character count. I see the goto fields, however, none seem to be character based.

Any hints appreciated.
