Custom page setup problem

[Guest]

Want to setup page for a banner at H-36" x W-72" in Powerpoint 2003, but I
can type in a max width of 56". Is there a way around this? It seems to me we
could type in any numbers in older versions of powerpoint. Thanks.

Not in PowerPoint. Is this for printing purposes?

PowerPoint is not a good application for creating banners, but if you must, see:

Yes it is. We have a large printer in our engineering area and we have always
sent them our layouts in PowerPoint. They say it is easier to import into
their AutoCAD program. I know we have done 3 ft x 5 ft banners before in
older versions of PowerPoint; but that would be 60 inches. The highest number
it allows me to type in is 56 inches. Is this issue related to PowerPoint
2003 only? Thanks.
