There it is! "EFFECTIVE"!

Once I use Jacque's technique of omitting the margins by obtaining only the formattedHeight of the text itself, and Ralph's astute awareness that apparently it's possible to have a formattedHeight different from an EFFECTIVE formattedHeight, all four versions of this algo adjusted with those changes work well to produce the same good result.

Ralph, help me out here: under what circumstances would the formattedHeight and the effectiveFormattedHeight differ for a range of text?
