I want to show the distribution of properties of products across two axes.
Excel 2003 sp3, on Win XP sp2

How do I place the code numbers of the products at the coordinates, i.e.
using text in a cell as the marker for each point? I used to be able to
do
this easily in Quattro, but cannot see a way in Excel.

The following Help instructions do not work:
"Reestablish links between data labels and worksheet cells
Click a chart sheet or an embedded chart to display the Chart menu.
On the Chart menu, click Chart Options.
On the Data Labels tab, select the Automatic text check box. "
because there is no automatic text check box

Thank you
