Add a styles dropdown to ckeditor

Our ckeditor toolbar doesnt have a styles dropdown so how do you add a styles dropdown and then how do you add custom styles to it?
Have updated to latest ckeditor version 3.6.5

You can add the styles dropdown and add styles to it directly from the UI in the latest version.

Edit your design and then add the styles menu option in the menu options tab. Then go to the styles tab and you can add a css file and choose which styles to display in the menu.

I'm missing something here.
How do you get to the menu options tab?

Click the pencil icon next to the Presets dropdown... then choose the Toolbar tab.

That is where you add the style list to the toolbar itself... In that same interface you click on the styling tab to add styles.

Sorry, but I dont see a pencil icon or the presets dropdown anywhere.
Where are they, how do you get to them?

You are probably still running an older version of HTML editor before we added these features. If that is the case, you can update to Data Bridge to get these features, depending on the version you may need to add the styles in the code itself.

What version of HTML Editor are you using? When did you purchase it from us? Do you own Data Bridge?

We have CSS Form Builder 2.0.1 which has HTML editor.
We purchased Super suite in June 2011, we dont have Data Bridge.

Dont see HTML editor anywhere when using ckeditor within Power CMS.

Over the weekend was able to add the styles dropdown manually by changing the exisiting array on the contents_insert.php and contents_update.php pages as below.

change - array( 'Format','Font','FontSize'), to - array( 'Styles','Format','Font','FontSize'),

Am I correct in assuming that I can also manually add new styles to this dropdown by adding them in the format below to the default.js file in the plugins/styles/styles folder

{name:'Blue Title',element:'h3',styles:{color:'Blue'}}
