I used the Aspect Ratio for text in my XAR post; the point is is is not interactive therefore far slower and not intuitive: do i make the percentage grater than 100% to elongate the text or what? I have to "learn" this, with handles, it is intuitive and interactive.
For individual letters, i might break the text into three parts or convert to shapes. All my choice, dependent on the design I am creating...
...also I don't think XWDP has an Aspect Ratio control.
