  Taking advantage of the lyx templates.
  Lets us assume for simplicity a spheric cow... oops, wrong time. ;-)
  
  Suppose that the document you want to modify is an article.
  
  There are several ways to do it, on of them is to save a document with no
paragraphs inside, and with the properties you wish to, for example with the
geometry settings that you described.

  Save that document in the templates directory. By default this location is
usally $HOME/.lyx/templates but this can be changed.

  Then any time you want to open a new document is a matter of
  File -> New from template
  
  and there you are.

  That is another way, place that in the documents preamble and make it a
template.
