Thanks for elaboration.

Defining these "regions" (in a few words) are tough. How about:

Paragraph area: Text area relative to the paragraph’s location (e.g.,  in a
cell, frame, column, section).


Can we find a better "label" for "Paragraph area"?  (to avoid following
situation)

Note in Horizontal "to" dropdown list:  Paragraph area
                                        Paragraph text area

The OP here grew out of making an analogy with other options:  
    Entire page
    Page text area

    Entire frame
    Frame text area

    Entire paragraph (currently "Margin)
    Paragraph text area


But the analogy breaks down in Horizontal, where I thought 

   Entire paragraph  (currently "Paragraph area")
   Paragraph text area

might work.  (but "Paragraph area" is "different")

Even if a better label cannot be found, I now see/believe that "Paragraph text
area" also operates "contextually" in the same way as "Paragraph Area", which
is worth trying to indicate in the help. 


Hmmmm.....maybe "Entire paragraph" might work -- where the help page has to
explain that it refers to "the area where text can potentially appear relative
to the paragraph's location"   

After all, if I have misinterpreted "Paragraph area" to mean "Entire Paragraph"
(i.e., as defined by Paragraph borders), then changing from "Paragraph Area" to
"Entire Paragraph" is not worse -- plus it gives an appropriate consistency
with the other "Entire..." mentioned above.  And then users who get surprised
by what happens with "Entire Paragraph" will have to read a "correct"
description in help.

(back to your favorite topic about UI consistency, dictionary definitions, etc.
;)  )
