                 Moving a Control

                 In LibreOffice Base, you can rearrange the controls on your form as needed. This means you can move text
                 boxes, labels, and other elements to wherever you want them, to make sure the form looks the way you want
                 it to. To move a control in the form, follow the given steps:
                 Step 1:  Click on the control that you want to move in the form. Both the label and the text box for field value
                          will be selected and position handlers will appear around the control.
                 Step 2:  Click and drag the control to move it to the desired location. The position of the control will be
                          changed. You can also move the control by opening its Properties dialog box and entering new
                          values for PositionX and/or PositionY option.

                 Adding Tooltip to Form Control

                 A tooltip is a small piece of text that is displayed when the mouse pointer is placed on a particular control.
                 They offer brief explanations or instructions when users hover their mouse over specific elements. This helps
                 users quickly grasp the intended purpose of each control without needing to search through documentation
                 or guess its function.
                 For example, in CRM system, a tooltip displayed when hovering over the “Customer ID” text box could say
                 “Enter the unique identification number assigned to each customer“. This immediate feedback aids users in
                 accurately filling out forms and reduces errors. Following are the steps to add a tooltip to the Text Box control:


                 Step 1:  Double-click the Text Box control to which you want to add a tooltip. The Properties: Text Box
                          dialog box appears.
