If you insert a Figure caption, then you cross-reference it via Insert|Cross-reference>Figure.

When inserting captions, via References|Insert Caption, Word gives you the option to create a new Caption type. You could create a new type named 'Exhibit'. Then you'd cross-reference that via Insert|Cross-reference>Exhibit.
