QUESTION: Well, I have done all that, ppt2003 does not allow that size (90x180cms) try it and you will know.

Answer
Hello Niki,

That is because PowerPoint has a maximum page size of 56 inches x 56 inches, the size (90x180cms) excess the maximum page size. If you want your poster to be bigger than 56 inches, create it at half size and then print it at 200% scale. In this example, the desired poster size is 96” wide by 36” high, so you should design its size at 48” by 18”.

Plese note that 1 inch = 2.54 centimeters, so please calculate and then set the right size for you.

Best wishes.
