When I print the standard patterns, they come out so small and dark that it
is difficult to distinguish individual patterns. They are basically
worthless, as they just look like varying shades of gray. There must be a
way to scale the patterns up to make them print larger and more visible? I
can't find anything in the Excel menus myself, but surely there must be some
way to to that!

I don't think you can modify those.

You can modify the color pallette through ToolsOptionsColor, but I see
no way
to change the dot spacing or cross-hatching spacing in those patterns.
