I'm using lots of arrows in an Excel spreadsheet, so I'm copying and pasting
the same arrow over and over. Every time I paste the object, it appears in
random locations, usually off-screen, so I have to scroll around to find it.
It doesn't seem to make a difference where I place the pointer, or whether I
use a right-click option or keyboard shortcut. How can I make objects paste
where I want them?

Use a simple macro

Sub Addline()

BeginXArrow = ActiveCell.Left
EndXArrow = BeginXArrow + 25
BeginYArrow = ActiveCell.Top
EndYArrow = BeginYArrow + 25

ActiveSheet.Shapes.Addline _
BeginXArrow, BeginYArrow, EndXArrow, EndYArrow
End Sub
