I don't know, what functionality of captions you need. For only text 
below (or above) the tabular, there are simple methods such as 
multicolumn or a surrounding tabular or a minipage / parbox.

For more specific functionality you should really think about what the 
purpose and structure of this table in this document are. Maybe, letting 
it flow is better suited.

Generally speaking: before forcing LaTeX to do something, it doesn't 
naturally support, think about adapting to LaTeX's way.
