Word 2007, title says it all. Can I make the cross-reference say "Fig. 3.2" instead of "Figure 3.2" somehow? If I could make it only say Fig in the middle of the sentence, that would be great, but simply having the option to pick would be great.

The situation: Working on my thesis which has quite a few images. The school's 'preference' is to only use the abbreviation "Fig" in the middle of a sentence, but stick to "Figure" if it's the first word of the paragraph. Of course I could just relabel everything as "Fig" but then it doesn't look right on the page with the actual captions.

The dearth of solutions to this on Google leads me to think it can't be done, but I thought I'd ask.

Thanks for the help in advance!
