Default Embedding an annotation or a comment to a chart in Excel 2007

You cannot edit the text in these popups ("chart tips"). You can add a text
box or data label to the chart, which is always visible, or you could write
some code that makes a text box visible sometimes and hidden other times.
Tushar Mehta has a utility that accomplishes this for you. Look for Chart
hover Label on his web site (http://tushar-mehta.com).

Hello,

Is it possible to add/embed an annotation or a comment to an Excel 2007
Chart.

For example, have a chart and then hover over a part of the chart and a
comment pops out (in a bubble or something).

Thanks.

P.S. Is it possible to do this in Office 2003?
