To specify a custom size, click another page size at the bottom of the menu, and then make a selection. If you really need to make a bigger poster, you can create a file, save it on a USB flash drive, and then go to a professional printing agency for printing.
The poster size supported by ordinary home printers is 28x43. You can find this kind of paper anywhere where printing paper is sold.

Select the simple text box option to insert a text box.
Enter the text to be displayed in large font on the poster.

Drag the edge of the text box to the desired size. You can also hover the mouse cursor over the edge and drag to move the text box to another location.
Another way to insert a title is to click WordArt on the Insert tab and then select a design pattern. This is a quick way to set the text style without specifying the font color and size. See How to Create WordArt to learn more about this feature.
8. Insert graphics into the poster. If you want to add photos or illustrations to the poster, you can click the Insert tab and select a picture. If you want the photo to appear below the title, you can drag the title text box above the photo. You can also insert and customize shapes. To insert a shape, click the Insert tab and select the shape. Then, you can select a shape and use the mouse to draw it to the desired position. You can double-click the shape to activate the cursor and draw the shape.
9. Add plain text. To insert text into the poster, add another text box (in the Insert tab) as you did when creating the title, and enter the required content. Then, on the Home tab, you can format the text with the font and orientation you want. If you want to add text to multiple areas of the poster, please put each text block in the corresponding text box. This makes it easier to modify the format of text areas and move them.
To change the orientation of the text, click the Orientation option in the Paragraph section of the Home tab.
