attachment 180425 shows the current controls (including recent changes).

What situation is worsened? 

Can agree that the controls have been confusing/difficult to understand...

But...please consider the growing symmetry in the Horizontal (and Vertical)
control, which is broken by keeping "border"... 

Entire page
Page text area
Left of page text area
Right of page text area
Paragraph area
Paragraph text area       Proposed
Left paragraph border     (Left of paragraph text area)
Right paragraph border    (Right of paragraph text area)


(there is also Above/Below page text area in the Vertical).

Basic point:  in the context of Horizontal positioning with "to paragraph" and
"to character" anchors, the labeling "signals" that one only needs to learn:

Page            Paragraph area
Page text area  Paragraph text area

(and then the "left of" and "right of" should be easier to grasp in context --
as argued in comment 9)

In short: (now) accurate (and internally consistent) labels should improve the
situation.

Hoping for a reconsideration 

-- and expanding the audience for discussion...
