Under the drawing toolbar, I am unable to use the line style or arrow buttons. I get the drop down, but it's as if it's shadowed. It won't let me select a line.
Do you have an AutoShape selected when you try? -- Suzanne S.

When I select AutoShape, I don't get the lines I want. The problem I am having is with the "line style" button under the drawing toolbar. The one that gives you double line option, bold lines, ect. Any other ideas? I apprectiate your help! "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: > Do you have an AutoShape selected when you try? > > -- > Suzanne S.

You have to have a line or shape created & selected *first* - then you can change its Style to something else. IOW you can't preselect the Style.
