cell line pattern prints to close together. how to fix?

[rjdrw]

I am trying to have the lines print wider appart than having it look like it
is a gray filled cell. I am trying to differenciate between something that
is gray and used seldomly and something that cannot be used at all. This is
for calculation submittals to state for engineering approvals.

Hi!

Are you using Format > Cells > Patterns? And selecting colours or patterns?
