I've read something about using Windows Forms to fool Word into using a
larger size, but I was hoping someone had tried it before I give it a go.
The printer driver I plan on using is Adobe PDF that shows up once Acrobat
is
installed. Acrobat can handle 200x200. Unfortunately, I need to create
the
document with Word because it's all I have.

I have the exact same problem. I'm also using Word 2002 on XP.
Unfortunately
the answer for MS Word is that it can't do it. I even downloaded a
device
driver for a plotter so that I could fool it into generating Postscript.

However, according to Graham Mayor in the post just below this, ain't no
way
no how. We need a publishing program.

I want to set up a custom page size in Word for an 8.5" x 36"
document. Word
2002 will only let me go up to 22" length. How do I get it to let me
go to
36"? My goal is to create the document in Word and then make a pdf
using
Acrobat. I'm using MS Word 2002 on Windows XP Home.

Thanks
