To move a line, don't select one of the ends, but select the line
somewhere along its length.

I don't know what the "pointed end" of a callout might be. To move a
shape, click on an edge, not on a corner, and you'll get the cross-
shaped icon. Then you can drag the shape.

In earlier versions of Word (2003 e.g.) One used to be able to drag a shape,
such as a callout, and the sharp end of the triangle would not move. Now,
when moving the shape, the whole thing moves.
As an example, when you drag one end of a line or arrow, one end stays put.
