I have a fat table to build, so the traditional A4 size page doesn't fit any more, I want a "fat" page, but only one page.

You'll need to create a rotated Master page to hold this type of layout (if that's what you mean by a "fat" page).

1. Create a new Master page (right- or left-sided as needed) for the landscape orientation.

2. Use the Format > Customize layout  menu to rotate the page (typically clockwise).

3. Select the Text frame.

4. Rotate the text frame back (counter-clockwise).

5. Transpose Height/Width values and reset the Top/Left so that it fits properly on the page (wrt to the standard Master page(s)).
