I am trying to draw a simple diagram consisting of a few boxes with some texts inside and some arrows connecting them... I recall this being trivial in earlier versions of Word.
But now I have Word 2016 (yay, err... not). Along with the customary moving everything around so I can't find anything there appears to be some default setting that inhibits me from drawing lines that are perfectly horizontal or vertical. Horizontal being like this:
and not:
╲
╲
╲
- So I click: Insert → Shapes → Line Arrow.
- I click on the page and a line arrow appears. It is diagonal (45 degrees).
- I grab one end and drag it around until it is vertical/horizontal.
But what happens is that the arrow moves around smoothly until its nearly horizontal/vertical... and then it jumps past that point.
I have tried messing around with "snap objects to grid when grid is not shown" and I have displayed the grid - I can see that it is snapping to something...but its not the grid!
I tried this in a brand new document with nothing else on it... same issue.
Can someone put me out of my misery!?
The only time I managed to draw a perfectly horizontal line was when I had two boxes and I drag-clicked the line from box 1 to box 2... but when I try to move the line later it goes back to its default setting as explained above.
