Hi,

Go to menu Format -> Option Inspector (of shift + ctrl + O on Windows), 
then select "global" in the drop-down menu for "Show option values for". 
In the "option name" pane click on Notebook Options -> Window Properties 
-> WindowSize, and set the size you want (Automatic, Fit, FitAll, or 
AmountInPoints) in the width and the height fields. Finally, click on 
the button "Apply". Voila!
