How to show "only number" in picture cross-reference in Word 2007 document?

I have many pictures in a document and I reference them very often in text. I don't want to lose the order so I am using Insert -> Cross-reference. This opens the cross-reference dialog where I can set Reference type to Picture.

For "Insert reference to", there are 5 choices:

- Entire caption
- Only label and number
- Only caption text
- Page number
- Above/below

What I need is a reference that would be inserted like this: [4], and not like this: [Picture 4]; None of these options enable me to do it.

Is there any way to make Word 2007 insert a reference to only Caption Number?

Note: The document is written in Croatian language which has 7 declension cases, so using "Picture 4" would not be valid in all cases. Actually caption label Picture is set to croatian word "Slika" and when I need to say say "in the picture" I can't because it would be "na Slici 5." and not "na Slika 5." (like Word would make me do). That's why I need to reference only the caption number. Is that possible in Word 2007?

I had the same problem - luckily the solution (found here) is very simple!

1. Insert the reference as you normally would
2. Right click the reference (the gray field)

3. Select "Toggle field codes"

   You should see something like this:

   { REF _Ref218925266 \h }
   

4. Simply change this to:

   { REF _Ref218925266 \# 0 \h }
   

Voila! Now Word persistently only shows the number.

(Right click to "Toggle field codes" once again, to get back to normal text display.)

PS Don't forget to "update field" otherwise you might think that it didn't work!
