Everyone was so great on my last post so thought i would try it again
 I want to add a page to my site that shows font samples. What do I create the page in and how do I upload it onto my site?
Site is www.teamstitches.com

Since stitched fonts may be rather different than typed fonts, you may want to take photos of examples and build a page with such examples.
Depending upon what fonts you are thinking about, those may or may not be present on the computers of your visitors and would then render as some other font.
Alternatively, find pictures of the fonts you have in mind (go to the various font web sites) and post photos as presented there.

The fonts are actually not stiched fonts in this case. The fonts are for graphics and are compatible in word although I use them in corel draw.
So can I make up a page in Corel Draw or a Word document and then how do I upload it either show up under Categories or somewhere else? I needed to do this with my fabric samples but couldn't figure it out and ended up just adding each swatch as if it were a product.

Make no assumptions that your visitors have the ability to open M$ Office documentss, Corel files, or anything special like those really cool fonts you may have. If you want to prepare this in Corel or Word, then post the result as a PDF which most anyone can view.
That PDF would then be linked to a page that explains more details about your products, how they might be personalized, and so on. For an idea of how one merchant approached this, look here http://www.euphoriababy.com/store/pc/Cloth-Diapers-Explained-c25.htm
Another example would be http://www.chiccorporateapparel.com/branding-boutiques.asp

That makes sense. I can convert my document into a PDF but how do I upload it or attach it to my site? It seems that i would need a seperate section below the Browse by Category section to display my fonts and some other items.

Upload it to the site with FTP and link it with a <a href=blah> command, just like you would link to any other page on the site.

Hi, If you just want to show these as images on the page then a jpg would be a better option - as long as the size is not to big. To create an informational page you can go to Setting > Manage Content Pages. See :
