Can I use a drawing tool more than once without reclicking?

[JoAnn]

I want to draw several lines without having to reclick the line tool. I
could do this in 2003 by double-clicking the tool. What can I do in 2007?

If there is I haven't found it Even when the Insert Shapes Group appears
in the Drawing Tools> Format contextual tab the dbl-click doesn't get it
done. As an alternative you can create the one shape then use Control+D to
Duplicate it as many times as you wish. Another option is to hold the
Control key while you drag the one shape to create a copy of it.

Right-click on the shapes you wish to use and select Lock Drawing Mode. You
can then draw as many of that shape you wish. To deselect the tool, press Esc.
