Hi Steve

display the drawing toolbar (view / toolbars / drawing) choose the textbox
object (or for a more exciting option, pick the love heart or smiley face!)
and type the text (note, if you're using an object other than the textbox,
to add text, right mouse click on the shape and choose Add Text).

Cheers
JulieD

Steve,

Use the textbox feature (see on-line help for specifics). Insert a textbox
into your chart. Then, add the text. You can position and format the
textbox after you've completed adding the text.

Select the chart
Type a comment (you'll see it in the formula bar as you type)
Press the enter key

The text box will appear in the centre of the chart
Drag it to the spot you want it, and format the text, using the buttons
on the Formatting toolbar.
