For the benefit of others trying this, I went thru the process and was able to add extra field capability to my 4.4.5 store. I had the invisible field problem listed in post above, but stopped before applying the fix in Post 26.

I use the Altered Cart one page checkout addon, and the extra fields were offset to the right of all other fields and also caused a wrapping problem with 'ship to a different address' setup.

Then this weekend, I got the email notice that 4.4.6 is coming 'soon'.

I'm going to wait and continue to use the fax field as a substitute for 'company'.

I'm hoping that the extra fields will be integrated then, or better still, do what should have been done long ago and make the company name a standard part of the address book.

It is my opinion that it was stupid to leave it out, and it is stupid to not put it in now. Sorry. I usually don't rant.
