Superb! It is a really good idea.

Thank you for the advice. 

I also thought before implement moving for several rows, we should start
with a single row. You have mentioned that 'move the row when the cursor
moves'. What I understood was, first we are going to try to move a row. But
did you meant that the row movements are going to be triggered according to
the cursor movements? 
Or did you meant to move the row where the cursor is at the moment, by click
on a button added to the toolbar?
If it is also not the idea you gave me, I really did not get your saying,
"The toolbar/button will just have to hook on this code." Sorry for that.
Could you please explain it to me?

I will search more about this get back to you after a day.

Thank you very much for the file. I think I have mistaken what a table
legend is. I have thought about a label instead. According to your file, the
problems stated in the comment seems to be already solved. 
As I mentioned the label issue is still there as same as with the tables and
the equations. Here is the same file which shows the label effect (Added
another float below the one you have added):

have done anything inappropriate please help me to correct that)


Thank you
