how do i get straight lines in Power Point 2007

[IRD]

When I draw lines now in PP2007 they will go anywhere but straight verticle
or horizontal. What do you have to do to get simple straight lines?

Press the SHIFT key when you draw the line. It will then be strictly
vertical or horizontal.

Thanks, Lars. What I have just realized is that if I am in a presentation
that I have just now created in 2007 I can draw horizontal and verticlal
lines normally. The problem is when I create or edit lines in a presentation
created in 2003. Then even if I use the Shift key they will not stay
horizontal or vertical. I have to go into the properties and change the
width to 0 t get to be vertical.

Have you applied SP1 for Office 2007? I'm not sure, but I think this was
maybe addressed in the service pack....
