How to get stylesheet styles to appear in Content pop-up

I've added a couple of items to my stylesheet related to a new div section, and I would like to be able to select these from the popup when I'm adding new content.
I've tried a bunch of things, but still no luck.
Any suggestions?

You can add styles to the style dropdown in FCKeditor:
Goto 'Extensions' -> 'FCKeditorX' in the menu and paste your style definition inside the 'Styles' tab.

WELL I was able to get some [not all] of the stylesheet items to appear in the pop-down STYLES Menu in the fckeditor, which I was quite pleased about.
The problem is this has generated the most bizarre amount of coding I've ever seen!!!
For the blank lines where I just pressed the Return key, this is the code which was generated when I clicked SOURCE in one Content block:
This has happened everywhere that I used the dropdown Style which I have added to the FCKeditor.
Can anyone suggest how to stop this, apart from removing the styles totally? I am baffled, and slightly horrified. It's impossible to find the actual text in the Source with all this unnecessary coding.
UPDATE 8 HRS LATER - WEIRD CODING ISSUE FIXED!
WELL I tried to remove as much of the code as possible, and was disappointed that the popup STYLES only showed 4 of the 8 I had set up. This morning I looked at the page 'live' in Firefox, and checked the source - and voila! all the offending code had gone! phew
so i logged back into the control panel,checked the STYLE popup, and it now has the 8 styles.
Maybe I exhausted it yesterday
it probably just needed a sleep - like I sure did!

TinyMCE editor adds the styles to the drop down automaticaly and I think it's much faster...

Hi Mark,
I don't know that I want to install new software at this point, but thanks for the suggestion.
I've been developing a site on Mac OS X using Firefox, but when the CMSMS Admin Panel is viewed by the client in Windows with I.E., they see a totally different wysiwyg view of the page, and when published, the pages don't look the same in the IE browser.
Any ideas on this?
