inserting a cross reference to a table

[navaja]

how do i insert a reference to a table i created in lyx into part of the 
text? It looks like I need to insert a label and then reference the label.

this is not very convenient,as it means that lyx inserts a reference to 
the section the table is in too so i get something like "see Table 1 
2.1" where as all I want is for "Table 1" to point to the occurence of 
the table in my text.
