You should set the language to 'turkish' in Layout->Document.

The above hint should work too if your LaTeX has turkish hyphenation
built-in.

LaTeX does that when it cannot find a good point where to break a
line, whereas Word would just add large spaces in
your line so that everything fits. You can change that by adding
'\sloppy' in Layout->LaTeX Preamble. The really best solution is to
rewrite the sentences which cause problems, but it is not very fun...

This requires a bit of fiddling with LaTeX, unfortunately. The .layout
files only reflect the settings obtained by LaTeX, they do not change
the output.
