The following example uses the contains method to determine if the active element is contained within the expense form and, if it is, inserts a paragraph. This example assumes that the active document has a FORM element named "expense."

    Sub AddParagraphToForm()
    Dim objForm As FPHTMLFormElement

    Set objForm = ActiveDocument.forms.Item("expense")
    
    If objForm.contains(ActiveDocument.activeElement) Then
        ActiveDocument.activeElement.insertAdjacentHTML _
            "beforeend", "<p>This is a paragraph inside of a form.</p>"
    End If
End Sub
