Set Text to the Vertical Center of the field

[J. Landman Gay]

When the "effective" keyword was first introduced, it applied to only a 
handful of properties. Over the years, additional ones were added. When I 
look in the dictionary, the keyword now shows what appears to be a 
comprehensive list of properties. However, none of the formatted* 
properties are listed.

Have things changed so that any and all properties can now be "effective"?
