    Mostafaalalfy,

    Sounds like a job for the Free form shape tool. Insert tab - Shapes button - choose free form under Lines section. Click at the starting point, move and click, repeat as many times as you want. Double click to end the process. You can make life easier if you activate the grid (press shift+F9) which will assist in creating the zig zag if you want.

    I can't find a 'standard' zigzag line, but you can create one of your own:

    Insert an elbow connector (Ribbon Insert => Group Illustrations => Shapes)

    Next set the size (height should be the same as the width; while the shape is selected and visible Ribbon Format => Group Size)

    Rotate the shape 45 degrees counterclockwise so it starts upwards (Ribbon Format => Group Arrange => Rotate)

    Copy and paste the selected and rotated image and drag the copy to connect to the end of your first elbow connector

    Select both shapes and group them (either by using [Ctrl] + [G] or Ribbon Format => Group Arrange => Group)
