Just as the MVPs explained to you last July, Word has a limitation of 22 inches; Excel does not.

In Word, page height is stored in a memory location whose maximum value is 32767 (sometimes called a "16 bit signed integer" data type).

The measurement is twips. There are 1440 twips in an inch. Since 32767/1440 = 22.75, the maximum page height is just over 22 inches.

I presume Microsoft regrets that this was set as this data type way back when.

For a word processor, even a 22.75in page width is exceptionally wide. A0 paper size is 841X1189mm (33.1× 46.8in). When you're using pages that large, a word processor is probably not the right tool for the job. However, since you're using Acrobat, you could scale everything down for slightly smaller than an A2 paper size and let Acrobat handle the re-scaling when you want to print on A0 paper.
