Format question of text concatenation

I have a text like this '*'& Field!Item.Value. I would like to highlight the
asterisk '*' as red color and bold in order to make the end user notice it
easier.
How can I do it? Thanks for your help.you could have 2 textboxes adjacent to each other. the first one would show
the '*' and the second one could show the Field!item.value. You could then
set the first text color to red.|||Because the asterisk which is showing off are based on the value of Item
field. I can use two adjacent boxes to do it. I wonder if there is no way to
do it in one textbox?
Thanks,

custom code. Maybe there is an easier way to do this, but if you just
created a function that showed or did not show the asterisk based on
the field value, you could then reference it in the textbox.|||A single textbox cannot display text in multiple colors. We will enable this
in a future version of Reporting Services via support for rich text.
