Look inside fullpage.sty for ways to set your margins.  Or you
might want to \usepackage{fullpage} in your preamble, and then play with
your margins.  You can find fullpage.sty in tetex-extra.

(I'm no LaTeX wizard, but your might want to set your
\textheight and \textwidth to larger values in order to get your right
and bottom margins correct.)

For changing the margins under Layout-Document: Make sure the option
Use Geometry Package is chosen.  Also, the margins need to have a
offset type (in, em, etc..)
