First, I tend to disagree in general with table that _have_ to appear
between two particular paragraphs. But after all, it is your document,
not mine :)

Solution: create a Table float, put your table and caption inside it.
Then Edit>Float Settings... will allow you to select 'here definitely'
as placement.

Because there is no way to know whether to write 'Figure 1' or 'Table 1'.

A caption should be in a float.
