The maximum page size in all Word versions is 22 x 22 inches. I
usually use Powerpoint to create large-format pages.

I have tried to change the page size BUT the ruler seems to only work with
the standard page sizes. What am I missing?

Did you read the answer you were given? "The maximum page size in all Word
versions is 22 x 22 inches." There is no way to have a 40-inch page. And you
can't change the page size with the ruler in any case.

You could also try setting up your word file at half size (20 inches), and
then try scaling it to 200% in your printer driver when you go to print
(click on the printer properties button in the print dialog box).
