Currently the largest font size is 72 how can or what can I do to obtain
larger font sizes when using Microsoft Word
 
Actually you can go much larger. Select the text, click in the Font Size
box, type a number
between 1 and 1638, and press the Enter key. (I think you may be able to do
half sizes too but I'm not positive.)
 
Yes, you can use half sizes. Unlike Publisher, however, Word permits only
half-point (not tenth of a point) increments.

I thought so but let's face it, if you're using something over 72 pts who
really needs a half point more? :-)

But when you get down in the very low ranges, half a point can be
significant.

But I was responding to your implied question about half-point sizes, not to

I found I'm more likely to change the 'tween sized fonts to a round number.
Something about a 13.8 pt font just doesn't make sense to me.

You must not have to do the kind of copyfitting I do!

Nope. I can take it down to 13 or tweak the textbox a hair to get 14. :-)
