Easy one this.

Insert your table below the heading in its own paragraph. In the  
Paragraph Designer, set the Space Below to, say -10pt, and set the  
Format to In Column. Then, click in the table and in the Table  
Designer, set the Space Above to -10 pt. This will align your table's  
cells across both columns.

There's a page on the Adobe Web site about this somewhere.

Good luck!
