I'm a newbie. I'm wanting to design a website that teaches Greek. Can I in one of your textboxes have a Greek word that is hot or clickable that plays an mp3 audio file off the click. In the textboxes can I switch from English to Greek font and back in the same textbox? Do your textboxes support Unicode?
I cannot help you with all of your questions but at least, I can answer the first one.
If you want a word in a text box to launch an audio file (already imported on your slide), you can easily select the word, click on Insert, and add a Hyperlink to it. The hyperlink dialog box offers the same triggers as the trigger pane.
You could also do the same by adding a transparent hotspot over the clickable word.
Two more questions: 1) can the audio I play from the textbox be an mp3 audio? 2) Can I switch fonts from say Times to Greek and then Back to Times in the same textbox?
Storyline support many audio file types and mp3 is one of them.
As for the fonts, if you really are talking about changing fonts in a text box, you can change font for every single letter in a textbox, it is just long to do.
if you are talking about language support, on this one I cannot confirm anything but I know that during the beta, some have tried it with chinese and it worked. This one as to be answered by a guru
Documentation: When you first open Storyline there are a number of examples on the right side of the opening screen. Articulate also has a good bit online. Here's a good starting point:

One more question. Where can I get the documentation for Storyline? Do you have a pdf or something?

For a manual, I'm kind of partial to this one: www.GoStoryline.com
Hi Ted,
The tutorials are also a great source of information and inspiration.
