You need to first link up the character number to your character (click the number on top then alt-click your character), then you need to go to Load Item, click the little folder, and then go to hotspots and select "start_dialogue".
Then click to place it where you want and press U on it, and type the name of your dialogue there.
Now, when the character walks in there the scene will start, and yes you can re-size it.

Which text box? The dialogue scene (the one which you edited and has your lines), or the text hotspot that I said to load? In the text hotspot if you have it, type the name. The name is what you put at the top like

#name essaCenora(or whatever you put there)
#participants blah
say 1...


Btw, the blah/blah/blah.txt isn't the name, it's the file path.
