font for "large print" Word document

I have been asked about the best font and font size to use for making a "large print" version of a document created in Word 2010 on Windows 7, intended to be distributed in paper. Are there guidelines on this? I found the lovely WebAIM article on fonts (http://webaim.org/techniques/fonts/) but it only deals with web pages.

Thanks!
