If you want to use Fig. and Figure, then you'd better make one fixed - e.g. the field being "Figure X", while for the others, the field would be "X" only, with "Fig." typed manually.

Word runs on a computer, it can't read your mind and guess when you want to use Fig. or Figure. Give him a rule, and it'll follow it 'til death, but don't ask it to guess your thoughts.
