Question

which step needs to be done before changing the font type, size, and color of a particular set of text?
set the font name, size, and color in the font group.
clear all current formatting.
select the text that needs changing.
position the cursor at the beginning of the document.

Explanation:

To change the font type, size, and color of a particular set of text, the first step is to select the text that needs changing. Without selecting the specific text, any formatting changes would not be applied to the intended portion. Setting font name, size, and color in the Font group is the action done after selection. Clearing all current formatting is not a prerequisite for changing font attributes of a specific text set. Positioning the cursor at the beginning of the document is irrelevant when targeting a particular set of text for font - related changes.

Answer:

Select the text that needs changing.
