The professional printers I have used typically have guides that
describe the formats they accept and other key information likely to
lead to a good result, e.g. what colour space to use, borders/bleeds
etc. Either your project is simple enough that you don't have to worry
about that and your .doc/.docx will simply be printed as you expect, or
it isn't, in which case you may need to consider using different
software (and in that case, you may need to consider whether you have
enough time to produce the material in an unfamiliar package).
And yes,, if it's A2 Word will not handle it, unless your document is
simple enough that the printer can simply enlarge A4 or A3.

Hi, I am trying to design a poster for a presentation later this week. The
poster needs to be done on either A2 or A3 paper. I want to design the poster
on the computer and then have it professionally printed and laminated, but
I'm not sure how to change the paper size - I've tried doing it from "File,
Page Set-up," but A2 and A3 are not given as options. It would be great if
someone could help me - also, if someone has any tips on whether or not I
should use a programme other than Word, that would be very handy too.
Thanks a lot.
