I see. I didn't know such feature existed! Excellent. This is a great step in
the right direction. This is a powerful feature to apply styles.

However, as bug 132568 describes:
"new line reverts to blue colour with a standard thickness, 0 degree angle and
no arrows.  free-form and straight line drawing is almost a necessity for
drawing lines between images and text across the page or on top of images and
when doing this regularly becomes cumbersome when having to edit all properties
of each line individually."

My goal is essentially to solve this problem, as described in the attached
document, by creating line drawing buttons for each of the styles. This way,
the user doesn't have to manually edit each property individually. So instead
of creating a new line, then manually selecting the appropriate style, the user
can select a button to create a line with the appropriate style **already
applied**. In the document, you see an image of a toolbar with a green
background and rainbow colored pens. This is what I was thinking of. This is
similar to the Inking functionality in OneNote, thus I think it would be
appropriate to market it as such to draw in new customers.

In addition, the style selection has too many options that don't apply to lines
(see new attached image for the ones we need). There would need to be a way to
exclude all of these options that are not needed for creating such lines.
