Using DataLabels to Annotate a Chart Series

[SkipVought]

It seems that the DataLabel object has a TOP & LEFT property, but not a HEIGHT & WIDTH property.

I am using a range to enter annotations to a series and linking that range to the DataLabel.

I am using the TOP property to move the DataLabel up and I am ADDING an ARROW shape, pointing down to the series.

I'd would have liked to vary the TOP property of the ARROW using the TOP and HEIGHT properties of the DataLabel, but, alas, there is no HEIGHT property.

Does anyone have a solution short of using textboxes in lieu of the DataLabel?
