Heather,

Create a dedicated TableAnchor pgf tag with Pagination set to Across All 
Columns, and put your table in that otherwise empty pgf. Previous body 
text will flow in columns above the table, and subsequent body text will 
flow in columns below it.

If you object to the space that this adds above the table, set the 
TableAnchor Space Below to a negative value equal to or greater than the 
point size of its font. Set the Space Above in the Table Designer to the 
same (negative) value. Those settings cause the top of the table to 
align with the top of the TableAnchor pgf, eliminating extra space above.

HTH,
