Cross-references to captions always include the whole paragraph (or at least
the part up to and including the caption number). To work around this, make
sure that the caption and the "captioned" item is not in the same paragraph.
If you want them to appear side by side, use a two-column table without
borders. Put the item in the left and the caption in the right hand cell.
Then you should be able to cross-reference the caption without difficulty.

Note that if you try to add a caption in a table cell, Word will insist on
putting it below or above the table. To avoid this, insert the caption in a
separate paragraph and then cut and paste it into the table cell.
