Does anyone have a solution to the problem that easily enables text boxes and
arrows on charts/graphs to be tied to the dates. I often insert a text box or
an arrow on a chart to denote a date that a signifcant event occured. My
problem is that as time moves on the text boxes do not keep aligment with the
dates.

Instead of a regular text box, I would suggest adding a data label (say, the
series name) to the specific point you want the info attached to, and then
editing the label to reflect the actual info that you want conveyed.
