First you'll need to convert your measurements to points (72 points = 1" =
2.54 cm). Then type the desired measurement into the Font Size box and press
Enter. You can use any value from 1 to 1638 points in half-point increments.
75mm is almost 3", so 3 x 72 = 216 points.

You can also increase/decrease font size by highlighting your text holding
down the Ctrl key and hitting { to increase 1pt per hit - or hitting } to
decrease 1 pt per hit
 
But it would require an awful lot of keypresses to get to 216 points!

Yes I agree, - it was just another way to increase/decrease font sizes that
could be helpful to others following the string who maybe only wanted to go
up/down a few points to make something fit better
 
FWIW, however, the shortcuts you gave are incorrect (at least in English
Winword); they should be Ctrl+] to increase and Ctrl+[ to decrease.
