I've searched on the term "Automatic Hyphenation on a Text Box" rendering no results, so I am adding a discussion.
I have a text box with a fixed font size of 11 and shrink text on overflow selected.
Two issues:
There appears to be no control for automatic hyphenation when a word (wrapped in the text box) cannot fit. It breaks without hyphenation.
It is not clear that 'reset slide' is actually working with the text box. When applied to a slide, it repositions a graphic, but not the text box or text within it.
I think you misinterpreted the question. Robert wants words to break apart using automatic hyphens when resizing, so that the text looks more like an even column. I was looking for the same option.
It'd be great to understand both the feature that is needed as well as the use-case for our team to take a look. You can share those details directly with our team here.
Thanks for following up! Auto-hyphenation is not a feature in Storyline 360, but I've added your voice to the report we're tracking of other folks that are interested in seeing this in Storyline. You're in the right place to get notified of any updates!
- 4 years ago: There is auto-hyphenation? "No. We'll send this feature demand to our team." - 3 years ago: Hey, it's about auto-hyphenation. Something about? "Not yet. But are other ones interested in this feature. Stay alert for any updates." - 1 year ago: There is auto-hyphenation? "No, sorry. But we hear what our customers need in Storyline. Stay alert for any updates. - Today: Still without auto-hyphenation...
Maybe the monthly costs for one subscription are not enough to pay the development team to work on an update like that.

Hello Robert and welcome to E-Learning Heroes :)
Thanks for reaching out and sharing what you are experiencing with your text boxes.
Curious if you would be able to share an example as I was not able to recreate what you described here.
Is your Wrap Text option turned on?
Feel free to share your .story file right here so that I can take a look and help you out :)
Leslie,

Hello Leslie,
re-opening this thread because I couldnt find any new information about this:
Is auto-hyphenation now (I'm using Storyline 360) available?
Thank you for helping us here.
