 * How can I remove the default styles that show in the drop-down styles box? I 
   only want it to show my custom styles.
 * I already added my custom styles and they show correctly. I just want only my
   custom styles to show, so I need to get rid of the ones that display at the top
   of the list:
    aligncenter alignleft alignright wp-caption wp-caption-dd wpGallery
   wp-oembed

 * Same question here. Nor can I seem to add new options – perhaps because I have
   a child theme?

   should work for you too as it will only display the classes you add – the default
   classes are not displayed.

 * I did some investigating myself into removing the default styles in v3.3.1 and
   it is not easy. It appears that Styles takes it’s default list from a variety
   of locations. So to remove the list, comment them out of their respective css
   files:
 * wp-includes/js/tinymce/plugins/wordpress/css/content/css
    wpGallery wp-oembed
 * wp-includes/js/tinymce/themes/advanced/skins/wp_theme/content.css
    aligncenter
   alignleft alignright wp-caption wp-caption-dd
 * Do not comment out the mceIEcenter class which is in the middle of the 2nd list
   above.
    Thanks…
