I am trying to build a poster presentation using openoffice writer.
My poster dimensions are 120cm tall by 240cm wide (4ft. tall by 8ft.
wide) (landscape orientation). However, it seems that oo-writer does
not accept it.
Yes, correct. Even when it accepts the size, it may have trouble with
things like centering.

Unfortunately, OOo still has lots of nasty limitations from it's 1990
DOS roots.
If instead you use Draw to make the poster, you still can't set the page
size that large, but you can create the drawing with a smaller size but
with the same aspect ratio and then tell OOo to scale it to the actual
paper size when you print it.
Another option is to pursue a similar strategy using Writer, export to
PDF and then have Acrobat scale the page up to fit the poster paper.
