Goes all the way back to at least 5.0 as far as I recall.

Step by step:
Cell should be text, numbers don't work (text numbers OK).

In the formula bar, select the characters in the cell you wish to format.
Right click and choose "Format Cells".
Click on "Color", click on "Red", click <OK.

I get red characters, what do you get?

Yes, highlight the characters you want in the formula bar (or press
F2,
(or
double click the cell) and edit in-cell), change their font size and
enter
