Good way for centering "Fly in" effects?

Hello Everyone,

   I am trying to center text over a caption box. Both fly in from different areas of the stage. Is there a quick way to make it so they end up centered? Until now I have eyeballed it until I get the two items centered, a tedious process? Any hints on how to do this quickly? Thanks

Dan

    Either you can edit the XML for the effect; or use the work flow I'm using: create a cross hair with a vertical and a horizontal line that you can position exactly using the Transform accordion. And then put the end point of the motion path over that cross hair.

    Hoping you understand my explanation... Have a look at this blog post, the movie of the first example, where the cards are flying to the same location was using that approach:
