Right click on the table float inset box label. In the appearing dialog set the placement option to
page of floats and use the option ignore LaTeX rules.
If this doesn't help, add this to your document preamble:
\renewcommand{\floatpagefraction}{0.1}
For more infos about these settings, have a look at section 3.5 of the
EmbeddedObjects manual.

There is also a LaTeX package, flafter, which prevents floats from
floating upward, so that the float always appears at or after its
