Really the only way to do this is to resize the window. Many of us
actually really like this feature of LyX - that it doesn't try to
impose a particular layout (e.g. margins) on you when editing.
Rob, do you mean that you just want wider margins in the LyX display? If
so, then this is achievable. It would help if I knew what document
classes you were using: article, book, or whatever. That said, if you
just don't want the display to be as wide, then you might just resize
the window, as James suggests.
Also, if you're using full screen mode, then you can set this under
Tools>Preferences>Editing>Control.
