Well, it is easier to help if you tell how you want something to turn out. A
form might look very different depending on the taste of the author. But I
guess you need boxes and lines and such ?
There is many ways to do this, but you need to do some ERT. (Button labeled
TeX) If you just want to frame text you can use the \fbox{framed text}. If
you need more fancy drawing you can do this in LyX by using the \picture
environment.
Take a look here:

However, if the form has complicated drawings in it etc, it might be easier to
make the form in xfig or kword and import it as a (e)ps graphics in the
document.
I hope this helps, Ingar
