Hi Jan,
For reasons known only to a select few at Microsoft 
the only 'straight
line' shapes included in Word 2007 in Insert=Shape are
connector lines (green sizing handles)
To insert a 'regular' (blue sizing handles) straight line in a document
you can use the following workaround. You will get the old
Format Autoshape dialog choices to go with these old line types.
1. In Word 2007 go to
Office Button=Word Options=Customize=Keyboard
2. In 'All Commands' locate the 'DrawInsertLine' command then assign a
keyboard shortcut to it.
Back in your document ull give you the ability to be able to draw old
version lines in your document and you will be able to choose
the 'missing' line style.
Yes, that does work, and by right clicking on the line and selecting the
Format Shape option it does list the line options including the double line,
and the thin/thick, and thin/thick/thin attributes. At least they did leave
the options in, even if they don't make the availability evident. Thank
you, I am going to add this to my Reference Library for future reference.
