Hello ,
This in an interesting one-I have to replicate this in Word but without success so far.
Would you be able to share the original source document, so I can try to figure out how this was originally authored.

Hi
The file from which these screenshots stem has quite a history: InDesign document, exported to HTML, converted to docx, used for alignment. (Screenshots are from the aligner tool.)
But I recently produced a taggy file just straight from Word, and it does the same (Segment 2):
I already uploaded that file in a different context: https://community.sdl.com/product-groups/translationproductivity/f/openexchange_applications/26334/number-verifier-2-0-1-0-studio-2019-text-coloring

I guess you can't.
Initial caps in Word are actually inserted via a text box. You can play with them in Word (Insert tab > Drop cap):
BTW: In HTML, initial caps are probably inserted inside a table cell, so they will be split from the remaining characters. I don't know about InDesign.
Thank you, Jesús Prieto. That answers my question. In InDesign this is no problem, drop caps are a style and they are a normal part of the text and displayed in Studio as such:
