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?
