The font sizes on MSword should be bigger than 72 so one can print something
like Restroom Out of Order a little bigger. Maybe there is a bigger size like
120 and I just can't find it.

You can. Click on the font size and type in any number up to 1638 (I think)
and then *hit the Enter key*. (That's the secret.)

As JoAnn says, you can enter any font size between 1 and 1638, in half-point
increments, in the Font Size box and press Enter. You are not limited to the
listed sizes.

Another thing you can do is highlight the text you want to increase in size
and hold down the Ctl and Shift keys while also clicking the greater than
sign. You can easily control the size of your text this way.

There are actually two sets of shortcuts for increasing and decreasing text
size:

Ctrl+ GrowFont
Ctrl+ ShrinkFont
Ctrl+] GrowFontOnePoint
Ctrl+[ ShrinkFontOnePoint

The first pair increase/decrease the font size to the next size listed in
the Font Size dropdown. The second pair increase or decrease the size by one
point. Sometimes (as between 10 and 11, 11 and 12) these are the same, but
using the second pair will increase 12 to 13, 14 to 15, etc., using sizes
that aren't listed.
