Custom page setup problem

Want to setup page for a banner at H-36" x W-72" in Powerpoint 2003, but I
can type in a max width of 56". Is there a way around this? It seems to me we
could type in any numbers in older versions of powerpoint. Thanks.

Not in PowerPoint. Is this for printing purposes?

Yes it is. We have a large printer in our engineering area and we have always
sent them our layouts in PowerPoint. They say it is easier to import into
their AutoCAD program. I know we have done 3 ft x 5 ft banners before in
older versions of PowerPoint; but that would be 60 inches. The highest number
it allows me to type in is 56 inches. Is this issue related to PowerPoint
2003 only? Thanks.
