How do I change master slide width to 90"?

[Emead1]

I am creating a poster in Powerpoint for a presentation. I would like to make
my slide 90" wide. I go to View-->Master Slide-->Page setup and try to change
the slide width, but it won't go up to 90". Any suggestions? Thanks!

You have to set it up proportionately -- like, if you need 90", make your
slide setup 45". Then when you print, print it to 200% -- or choose the
appropriate paper size and then "scale to fit paper."

Even if you preset the printer to 90 X 90" the most size you can get in
PowerPoint is 56" wide and high.

If you have Publisher you can go out to 20 feet if needed. You need to have
a printer capable of the size you desire to create. I use a PDF creator
program and set that to the default printer and size I need first (With the
program open, Print, select printer, set custom page size, OK all except for
the final print OK then cancel. In the program Page Setup, Page size,
custom size and set to the same as the PDF printer setup.

Should work but if you don't have Publisher or it doesn't work, post back.
Maybe we can figure out something else for you.
