I've created a Gantt chart showing elapsed time from application to
acceptance of a request. Since it covers over 3 years there isn't paper big
enough to be able to identify even an approximation of the dates. In
addition, some instances only have an application date and no acceptance date
so there is no bar at all. Is there some way to place an indicator for the
start date and (if available) the end date. And in a perfect world, would it
be possible to print the date above the plot point (allbeit in a tiny font)?
Thanks in advance for any help.

You might find something here that you can use:

And if you can locate a marker anywhere, you can apply a label to it:

Rob Bovey's Chart Labeler, http://appspro.com
John Walkenbach's Chart Tools, http://j-walk.com
