You get the tag name when the cross-reference format definition contains
the building block <$paratag>. It has nothing to do with tables, it's a
matter of the xref format being used.

You need to look at your cross-reference format definitions. "Page XX"
is not a format definition -- the likely definition for that
cross-reference format is (sans quotes): "Page <$pagenum>" 

Double-click an xref. In the Cross-reference dialog, click Edit Format.
Then spend some time selecting the different formats defined in your
document and looking at their definitions. If necessary, refer to the
online help or manual for explanations of the different building blocks.
It sounds like you have some issues with the xref format definitions in
your docs or with your usage of them. 

HTH!
