Your post is a little unclear, but I presume you want virtual desktop space such that the resolution of your desktop is larger than that your monitor?

If so, look here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1105594

Thanks for the reply. I am new to ubuntu, so I am hoping for a GUI tool for changing my workspace dimensions in the hope that the workspaces will be bigger than my screen dimensions.

Right. Then see what you can derive from the link I posted and post if you have any problems.
