We'll let everyone participating in this discussion know if there's any forward movement on such a feature. Here's a glimpse into how we prioritize feature requests!
Another request for said feature submitted. Not sure I'm too hopeful, given there seem to have been similar requests sent for several years now... but hey-ho, don't ask, don't get.
Although Storyline as is does not have real word-wrapping it can still be done. With the help of Javascript, CSS and HTML5 you can make it happen. This library for example makes it happen. http://www.jwf.us/projects/jQSlickWrap/
One thing to watch is Storyline's own behaviour with texts and textareas. If you enable 'Wrap text in shape' on a Storyline Text Box internally Storyline will make <tspan> elements for each line. This offcourse hinders any approach above, but you can still make it work with some effort.
Eight years after this feature was requested, I'd like to "bump" up the request. It is surprising that Storyline has not yet incorporated this very basic and essential function. I will also submit a feature request for this.
And another 2 years has passed by. I'm not sure they are keen on investigating this feature, despite it having a massive impact on creating a really professional design look. I'll request it again, but after 6 years of requests I'm guessing it's likely wasted effort.
Nine years after the initial request... this is still not addressed. Plenty of users would find this immensely helpful and time-saving when designing slides that include both text and images. Would Articulate please bump up the priority of this request by multiple users?
Too bad this is not implemented yet indeed. In my opinion this indeed should be #1 on the list of features to develop. Only workaround i found working is with some complex Javascript.

Thanks for adding your voice, Kel!
Bump and submitting!
Hi, Whitney. Thanks for your vote!

Oh yes, we absolutely need this feature!
Yes, please! I would like to see the feature to wrap text around an object too! Thanks.

Thanks, Mick for adding your voice here. Sharing your ideas in E-Learning Heroes is a major source of input in the feature request process.
Still not available...
This feature needs to be added. I'm finding out more and more that Storyline is great, but it seriously misses some basic functions
Bumping again. This would be all kinds of helpful.
This is obviously not a developer priority as the latest version still has no wrapping ability, sadly.
I guess I'll go add my request, like others.

A nice library when doing typography

A pure CSS solution is possible too..

Here a good approach using CSS-shapes in HTML5

Funny thing when searching for solutions i found one of my own older posts (2015) on how to fix this in Lectora. In Storyline this would work too...even easier since recently the newest GSAP is included default in SL.

As Storyline treats all assets as inline SVG the above solutions might be hard to implement. So i searched for some SVG based solutions.

Although not directly textflow/wrapping still nice this one..

And this last one for sure is very promising.

Requesting text wrap around an object. It would be nice to have text follow the outline of a character.
Sadly 8 years have passed and still it's not a feature...
2 years later - This would be a great feature!

Oh boy! This is still not in Storyline :(
Text flow wrap options for images is very important in design. There is a reason it is in every design application.

Agreed... agreed... agreed... agreed! It's way overdue!!!
I commented on this thread 9 years ago but alas still not a feature. Really a shame.

This would be helpful!
Is there any word on this? I would love to be able to fit text boxes to non-rectangular shapes without having to write code.
