Verify the file is not read-only, protected, checked out, or opened without edit permission.
Save a local copy and test the same edit in a new blank document.
Disable add-ins, update Word, and run Office Repair if editing still fails.
Try this instead:
Place the cursor where you want the line, then press Tab or type spaces, select that blank area, and press Ctrl + U to underline it. You can then type over that area without using a shape.
If you still want to use the line shape, right-click the line, choose Wrap Text, then try Behind Text or In Front of Text. You may also need to choose Fix position on page so it does not move with the text.
Just to check: are you making a form or fill-in-the-blank document? Also, do you want the typed words to appear directly on top of the line, or after the line?
