I'm trying to highlight text within an image in OneNote 2010. It works okay, but if I need to highlight a whole line it tends to take a few tries, and even then it comes out looking sloppy.

Is there any way to "freeze" the vertical access so I just highlight a straight line? Holding ⇧Shift doesn't seem to work.

As I can read on the Microsoft OneNote forums, it is not possible to use the highlighter to make a straight line, but you can instead use the pen tool when you turn on the Lock Drawing Mode in the Insert Shapes section of the Draw tab in OneNote 2010.

Then you can just draw a straight line by holding the Shift key and dragging with your mouse.

ps. Deselect Snap to Grid (like shown in the picture) for your line never to snap to some imaginary grid and go above or below your desired location.
