Adding comments to points in a chart?

I'm using Excel 2002 (and a newbie) and want to add comments to different
points in a chart so I can clearly see when specific things changed and how
they effected my chart.

(I was referred by one to look at an add in program that can add data
labels, but couldn't get it to work the way I needed it to)

Is there a way in Excel 2002 for me to add a comment and place in the chart
where I want. I was able to figure out how to "insert comments" to a normal
cell and then move it to the chart where I want that comment to be. The only
problem with doing it this way is I can't figure out how to get rid of the
annoying arrow from where I put that comment on the chart and the cell where
I added that comment. Is there a way to delete this arrow?

If not, how would you add a simple comment to different points in a chart?

Anyone know how I can accomplish what I want?

Thanks in advance...

You can use any of the text boxes, shapes and callout from the drawing tool
and add text to them.
It is important that you follow these steps:
1) Use View |Toolbars|Drawing
2) Select chart (click on it)
3) Drag a shape onto the chart
4) Add text and position shape as needed
If you omit step 2 the chart and the shape will not be grouped and the chart
make be move leaving the shape behind.
