Default Make a cross reference say Fig. instead of Figure

My figures are labelled "Figure X", but in my text I want to refer to those
figures in the abbreviated form (Fig. X). When I use the cross-referrence
tool it doesn't let me change Figure to Fig. How do I do this so that Figure
changes to Fig in the text?

See http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/CombineXrefs.htm for general
information on how to edit cross-references.
