How do I replace the data point markers (diamond, star etc.) with
text which is unique for each data point?

Example .. Lets say we have this dataset:

Name: Alfa Beta Gamma
X: 1 2 3
Y: 2 4 8

The goal is to replace the ordinary markers with
the word "Alfa" for the point (1,2), "Beta" for
the point (2,4) and so on... ?

How about adding the alfa, beta, etc. as data labels (use Rob Bovey's
XY Chartlabeler available from www.appspro.com).  Center the labels and
set the marker to none (double-click the plotted series, then the
Patterns tab).
