I suggest that you use the list environment instead and include in ERT the following staement right before the list:
\setlength{2 in}
you can then "play" with the length to suit your needs

Subject: Standard indent in description environment?
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1
Hi,
I would like output from a set of descriptions to look like this:-
- -a This switch is the shortest;
- --longer This switch is longer, but the description starts at the
same indentation as the previous one;
- --123 Same with this one.
Rather than:-
- -a This switch is the shortest;
- --longer This switch is longer, the description no longer starts at the
same indentation as the previous one;
- --123 Same with this one;
Is there an easy way to do this other than using a borderless table? Using a
table seems to defeat the whole elegant concept of using LyX!
TIA,
- --
