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.

This is easy to recreate, but can be solved by setting the height or width to zero in the ribbon.

    That works for the initial step of drawing the arrow, but if I try to move it, or extend it, or shorten it, it jumps to the left or right, and won't go straight up again....any more suggestions???
