 margins settings.

Yes. \usepackage{a4} or \usepackage{a4wide} in the preamble. However, before 
you do this, read this (section 1.1):
ftp://tug.ctan.org/pub/tex-archive/info/l2tabu/english/l2tabuen.pdf
(this is why it has been removed from LyX).

I've adjusted margins in Document - Settings - Page Margins on  
Panther (Powerbook G3 and a G4 Cube) and on Tiger (iMac G5).  This is  
probably a different procedure than you're used to.  I've not used  
earlier versions of LyX.

I've been looking around in the settings but I can't find a simple  
way to do this. I've tried using the \usepackage{layout} and  
\layout in the document to see what the difference between the  
small margins and very small margins settings are in 1.3.7 but both  
report the same layout page.


Thanks for your help,
