Have you tried the Position Command on the table?  If you change the
width it should treat the Table as a "positioned object".  According
to my manual (page 280 of the 4.0 version): "The text of normal
paragraphs flows around the boundaries of any positioned objects on
the page."

If the problem is that the caption doesn't stay with the table, then
maybe you can try to use the Position Command on the caption, too.
Two contiguous paragraphs with identical position commands are
supposed to be treated as a single object.

Caveat: I don't normally use Word much, I'm typically a LaTex user.
The little I know about Word comes from helping out my wife, so if
someone tells you that I;m wrong about this Tables stuff, they're
probably right.
