Help drawing straight lines and arrows

I know how to use the Drawing tools on the Edit tab to draw lines and arrows. I'm wondering if there's a way to force a line or arrow to be horizontal or vertical. For example, in the old days, when you used Microsoft Word drawing tools, you could press and hold Ctrl as you drew, and that would force a line to be horizontal or vertical (doesn't seem to work in Word 2010...boo, hiss!).
 
If there's no way currently and it wouldn't be too much trouble, this would be a very useful feature--make my drawings and callouts much neater

    Yes, there is a way - just hold the Shift key when drawing lines or arrows. Also read the hint in the bottom "status" bar, it tells you about this.
