A string where?

If it's just a text box string, create two text boxes, one with a red capital initial character, and another with the remainder of the string. Position them close together to make them appear as a single string.

Labels have no solution for this problem, as any input field forces you to set a font, size and color for the entire text string (or expression result).

No, not possible with one single dimension value.

You can try creating Calculated Dimensions: one has the left part, another has the right part, like in:

=left(MTDChannelDescription, 2)

=mid(MTDChannelDescription, 3)

If you display them in a straight table and next to each other, you can wipe out the cell border (I imagine), right align & color red the left part, and left align and color blue the right part.

You'll have to experiment a bit to find out whether this suits your needs.
