I can't find any way to add a text box to a chart in excel in the 2008 Office for Mac. it seems like such a basic feature that I assume that I'm just not looking where I should.

If your chart is on a chart sheet you need to click somewhere in the chart.
The Text Box tool will then be available on the Drawing Toolbar.You'll also
be able to select any of the shapes in the AutoShapes palette of the same
bar or the Object Palette of the Toolbox & add text to them.

If the chart is floating on a worksheet you need only select any of those
tools & create the shape.

looking where I should.

One way:

Show the Drawing toolbar, click on the Text Box button, and draw your
text box.
