PowerPoint 2007 - Problems extending straight horizontal line

[Runngdog]

So using PPT 07, I draw a straight horizontal line on a chart. Later, I
enlarge the chart and want to make my line longer to match. Problem is:
- If I simply try to extend the line, it seems to automatically shift
un-horizontal, just a slight slope (+ or - less than 5 degrees), but it
absolutely won't stay horizontal
- If I hold down the shift key (as I would in earlier versions of PPT), the
line suddenly extends way, way beyond the margin of the slide (like so far
beyond that I no longer even see the slide)

Has anyone else had this problem? Any fixes to suggest? I'm using XP Home,
SP2.

This is known and hasn't been fixed yet

As Jean-Pierre explained, it's a known issue with no fix.

What I'd do as a workaround is use the Size chunk on the Drawing Tools
Format tab to add to the length of the line.
