How to put a widget in a page

I am new to wordpress and I am trying to figure out how menus relate to widgets. Is there a way I can add a widget to a page? Not on the side bar but in the page.

Not easily, I'm afraid :( However, a 'sidebar' in WordPress can be any container in your website. It does not necessarily need to be on the side of your page. You can use register_sidebar() in your functions.php file to create a new sidebar, then simply display the widgets in your new sidebar with dynamic_sidebar(). It's your CSS that places the sidebar on the side of your page. If you look at it that way, you can instead use CSS to make a horizontal 'sidebar' for instance. The name 'sidebar' will most likely change at some point in the future to better reflect that.
