@kathleenr16571499, what OS and version of Elements are you using?

Please describe the problem you are having in more detail. And here is another way to create a double-headed arrow:

Select the Shape tool.
In the tool options panel, select the line shape.
Select the size, color and type of arrow you want to draw (in this case I have chosen At Both Ends from the dropdown menu).
Draw the line.

Thank you very much for this. I did get a line with an arrowhead on each end so I didn’t have to do the extra steps.

This was very helpful and time saving for me.

Activate the custom shape tool.

The default shapes "library" has an arrowhead. Drag it out to suit; it will come in as a separate layer called Shape 1

To get the arrow head in the other direction as well, right click on Shape 1 layer in the layers palette, and duplicate the layer, yielding Shape 1 copy layer.

Activate the transform tool (CTRL+T) and flip the layer 180 degrees, and position appropriately.
