Doing this without a gypsy is a little tricky, but look at each letter orient it so it is tall on the long portion of the paper. Remember, as you increase size in height, you increase width!
If you have a gypsy, you can unlock the height x width ratio and size them exactly as big as your paper!
Good luck!

If you want the letters to remain proportional, some of them won't fit your paper size based on the height and width. As stated, those increase proportionally.
If you just want the letters as big as they can be using the 9X12 paper, use the fit to page feature after you set the paper size.
