if i want to move 1 milli meter or 5 milli meter vertically or horizontally can i move?
when you select the line, you will see the Drawing Tools tab, click the small arrow at the bottom right of the Shape Styles options to view the Format Shape pane. This is how you add/remove a line's arrowheads:to get more precise control on adjusting line lengths, use the ZOOM control at the bottom right of the Windows
with a larger window, you can control more easily
NOTE: at the top right of the Drawing Tools tab, you can SEE the length of the line, when you select a line the length increases to the RIGHT/BOTTOM
this is how to change the units: File tab ―> Options ―> Advanced ―> scroll down to Display and select the units
