It sounds like WfW is Word's child, alright!  When I first started
fiddling with Windows configuration files for PostScript printers,
many years ago, I discovered that point sizes larger than 127
were sort of random...actually, point size mod 128.  The program
used to configure the font sizes available on the screen in DOS
Word weren't smart enough to recognize that the larger sizes couldn't
be shoved through the Word machinery out to the PostScript code
generator.

I think you are stuck, unless you can figure out how to output
raw PostScript embedded in your WfW document.  (I know you can
do it in Mac Word, so it's possible the same option exists in
WfW).
