If the file is very large it is difficlt to do this accurately.  One 
thing I try is to devise a strategy where I select off the topmost block
and either delete it or copy it.  That way I can use the Find to get to 
the middle point, mark it then 'scroll bar' quickly to the top and Shift 
click there to select the block.
