🛠️ Professional Formatting Recommendation

✅
Recommended Mode: Select Fit & Scale (Proportional). This scales Letter content by ~129.4% to fit the 11.0-inch width cleanly while centering vertically, preventing distorted font aspect ratios.
⚠️
Common Pitfall to Avoid: Avoid Stretch to Fill. Stretching Letter (1:1.294) to Tabloid (1:1.545) vertically elongates text, making round logos appear oval and distorting layout columns.
