I think QuicKeys will allow you to do just that, through a combination
of aliases and sequences. (Keep in mind that Word has its own
lovely set of keyboard macros, like command-right arrow for forward
one word, but if you're addicted to E-macs...)
I use the mouse less and less nowadays, thanks to 
Quickeys. It's wunnerful.
[Just a satisfied customer, as they say.]
