Is there a precise way to add elements (e.g. paragraph)

I have difficulty drag+dropping a new element on the page to the precise location I want. For example, between a full-width element containing two columns and a full-width element containing 3 columns. I want to insert a new paragraph element between them, but cannot find the spot which will insert the paragraph so it spans the full width of the page. Is there a fool-proof way of doing this?
