One other suggestion: Tools > Options > LibreOffice > General. Look
in the Help section. Make sure that Tips and Help Agents are checked.
When they are, you can hover the cursor over an icon in a toolbar to get
a pop-up label for it.
Another thing that may help you is the Getting Started with Base
Chapter. The top of page 20 has a screenshot and instructions on how to
open the Form properties dialog. The Navigation bar is the next to the
bottom property.
