Default How do I do poster size printing?

I am trying to make some posters for my class. It only has 2 words on the
poster, but i want it to fill the 4 pages, not just the 72 Goudy Stout size,
which is the largest I can get it. When I make it 500% on the screen, that
is the perfect size, yet it just prints out the smaller version. Help me
figure this out please!! I am using Microsoft Word 2003.
Thanks so much for any help you can offer.

You can change the font size to anything from 1 point to 1,638 points. Just
type in the amount and press Enter.

You can also enter fractional pt sizes, but Word is limited to .5 pt
increments.

Right, forgot to include that. Publisher permits 0.1-pt increments.
