hi
in word 2013 when I want to draw an arrow or a line it cant be straight in 180 degree in page and it is always a bit curve to up or down for example draw a rectangle and on its border line draw an arrow ( the arrow must be exactly on rectangle border line ) and you will see that the arrow is curve and is not on rectangle border.

Locked Question. This question was migrated from the Microsoft Support Community. You can vote on whether it's helpful, but you can't add comments or replies or follow the question.
This is easy to recreate, but can be solved by setting the height or width to zero in the ribbon.
Note that the original post in this thread discusses a concrete bug with Line shapes in Word 2013 which probably won't be fixed. On the other hand, there is a simple workaround available.
You can post feedback on Microsoft Word in the Uservoice forum at http://word.uservoice.com.
You don't mention what's the "simple workaround". Tony Jollans' answer is an acceptable workaround, if that's what you meant then you should mention it explicitly (and/or quote him).
However, this also means that the bug isn't fixed in Word 2016, and workaround needs to be used.

Still happens with Word 2016.
I know this is an old post and might not be an issue to the person who originally posted the problem. But it is still an issue in Word 2016 and has been plaguing me at work on a project I am doing in word. I have finally found a work around so I thought I'd post it for anyone else who is having the problem and lands on this page via a google search like I have.
When the arrows start no to be able to snap to 90 degree angles and have other odd behavior as described in this thread. Just select the arrow then hold shift and use the left and right arrow keys to adjust it back to the 90 degree angle. After doing this the arrow will begin to function properly again when you manipulate the handles.
I hope this works for you as well.
