How can I make full page sized numbers?

I need to make full page sized numbers. Think score cards that judges used to
hold up to score a performance, dive, etc.

Select the number and choose a font size large enough to fill the page.
Although the font sizes listed on the dropdown are limited, you can type in
any number between 1 and 1638 (in half-point increments) and press Enter.
For reference, there are 72 points to the inch.

Because most fonts are designed with some "leading" (extra line spacing),
you'll probably need to reduce the line spacing of the paragraph to the
nominal point size of the font (or sometimes even less) in order to fill the
page.

When you set font size, you're not limited to the choices in the
drop-down list. You can simply type in any font size. Using Times New
Roman, a font size of 500 seems to give what might qualify as a "full
page sized" single digit number. Make sure that the margins are set to
be equal for an easier time centering the number. You'll have to play a
little bit to get it centered vertically.
