Remove Portion of Field Labels

[sbianco]

How do I edit the caption REF_ field code to stop the Label (Table, Figure, Reference) being added for portion of cross-references. If I manually delete the label in text associated with the caption field code, the label is reloaded (perserved) the next time the document is reloaded/opened.
1. Example desire: References (a) and (b) vice, Reference (a) and Reference (b).
2. How do I add a 's' to the caption label (see example above) or maybe I could delete both labels and just type in "References"?

Thanks
