Open the Drawing tool (View | Toolbars)
Use one of the shapes (callouts are great) to put a shape with text on the
chart
Caveat: you should begin by clicking on the chart to activate it then select
the shape; in this way the chart and the shape are 'grouped' so if you move
the chart on the worksheet the shape will go with it.

In Excel 2003, is there any way to add an annotation/callout/note to a
chart -- for example, if I want to add a description to a data point or
other item?

Thanks,
Don Culp
