Heather, Sure, digitally you can get any line of type to fit a measure -- but sometimes at the expense of readability, type "color", and consistency with the rest of the page. The rules of good typography haven't changed all that much since the days of machine and foundry type. I would sooner see the occasional hyphenated line if it maintains a consistent appearance, line to line, than a large hole at the end of the line, open letterspacing, vertical rivers between the type, or adjacent letters tripping all over each other.
