For example from activity box 1 lower right connection point to activity box 2 upper left connection port. The arrow will be pointing downwards and you will have one segment with a yellow square and the two end should be connected by showing red squares. 2) Drag the current segment upwards by clicking on the yellow square until it passes the top of activity box 2 (which in IDEF0 will usually be bellow box 1). Now right click on the vertical part of the line that is sticking out of box 2 and select add segment. A new yellow box should appear on that vertical line, and the line should turn black because it's now a horizontal flow. 3) Click on this new yellow box and drag it to the left. The new segment will grow to the left and the arrow should now point correctly to the right. To change the flow style double click on the line to open it's properties. Don't know too much about IDEF but AFAIK horizontal flows should always be black, and the only option (at least in DIA's SADT/IDEF0) is to grey the vertical ones, but if you want you can force grey the whole line by changing it's colour in the object's properties.
