Anybody here good with Google Docs?

[BPH]

I'm trying to design a document in multiple formats (Letter, A4, A5, Half-Letter), but when I change the page setup size to accommodate those other formats it resizes the document, but not its contents.

Font size, table size, etc aren't locked and scaled to fit similarly on the new document and end up on different lines and different pages.

Is there a way to "lock the aspect ratio" when it comes to the content within a document that you're changing?

Did you look at the results of the search before you posted this? I obviously did a search first...

I'm not looking to lock the aspect ratio of an IMAGE...I'm looking to maintain the aspect ratio of ALL CONTENT within a document once I change the page size...that means tables, fonts, sentences, spacing, etc.

I don't want to change the page size and have half of what I wrote end up on a 2nd page, for example.

I don't see a way to do that online through Google Docs so far, just a lot of external software suggestions from dozens of random companies.

I think that'll be forte of design tools than docs. Try Canva.

Why ask on here then?

Played around with it a bit, and while I can create custom resizes and "lock aspect ratio" it doesn't seem to maintain the size of the content. Maybe it would apply correctly if I built it inside of Canva rather than uploading the Google Doc, so I can try that tomorrow.

Why ask on here then?

Because I'm hoping somebody on here knows something I don't/more than a Google search. Below are example images from the competition in Letter and A4 sizes. Notice how despite the pages being different sizes, the content ON the page are spaced the same in both images. I don't know how to achieve that result.
