draw a forced straight line

Hi, If I have chosen the arrowed line and make the line (with excel 2000) and then I lengthen it... it can get yucky. With my excel 2003 I can just lenghen it by dragging an end and it is fine... what key do I hold down while dragging the line to keep it Vertical/Horizontal and straight... ?

On top of Frank's advice, you may want to try positioning your arrow while
holding the ctrl-key and the alt-key too.

(if you turn on gridlines, you'll see the Alt-key effect better)
