First, you may need to rethink the "square" tile statement!
Nine tiles 1.75" square is 15.75". You may wish to make rectangles instead.

Try this, 11" divided by 9 = 1.222222.
Knowing this, I can design my rectangle as 1.22" by 1.75".
Now, I can place my text in that rectangle.
Next, I highlight both and go to LAYOUT and CENTER both.
Once that is done, I can go back to LAYOUT and UnCENTER both.
Now, with those two items still hightlighted, I can move them on my board, to what ever area I wish.
Repeat the process, above with each tile.
Be sure to allow enough space between tiles for your cutter if you are, also, going to cut them out.
