Put your table inside a float table:

Insert -- Float -- Table

and afterwards select the float and choose the placement here definitely.

Hope this helps you.

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.

Put your table inside a float table:

Insert --> Float --> Table

and afterwards select the float and choose the placement "here definitely".

Hope this helps you.

 Yes, but it is not much of a problem.

It kind of is. I need the table to be the first section, right after the
abstract.

the problem is the pagebreak. insert it by hand or
  write a funtion \need into preamble which controls
the needed space before placing a table.
