Default Can I enlarge the pattern for a page background or fill

I want to have a background for the entire document, a pattern (chosen under
page color, then fill effects), but the pattern is too small when it is
displayed on the page. How can I make it bigger so that you can more clearly
see the pattern?

If you're using Page Color - Fill Effects - Pattern tab, there is no way to
do what you want unless one of the patterns shown is a larger version of the
one you're using, or an acceptable facsimile thereof.

If you don't find what you want, you could create an image in a graphics
program and use it as a Picture background, instead of using one of the
supplied built-in patterns.
