Don't insert the table as caption! Start a new paragraph for the table:
- goto the beginning of the caption and press Enter for a paragraph
preceding the caption (captionbelow) or
- goto the end of the caption and press Enter for a paragraph
followint the caption (captionabove)
and insert the table in the new paragraph.
Do Layout>Paragraph and click the Centered radiobutton to center the table.
BTW: it does not work as for figures, becouse the figure dialog default to
insert-eps figure which does start a new paragraph for you (while the table
insert is similar to the insert-iniline-figure feature)
