Not sure if it will work. http://cooltext.com/Download-Font-Friz+Quadrata has not updated their software for Windows 7, let alone Mac OS X since Macs were on PowerPC CPUs.

Thanks for the help. I guess I am so afraid of some awful malware sneaking in, that I hesitate to go to any website and download stuff (learned a terrible lesson with MacKeeper! ... but that's another story). I took a deep breath, backed up my system, went to cooltext.com and downloaded Friz Quadrata. Then I made sure that it was in my font folder (which I found using Searchlight) and I moved it to the Modern Folder. I then restarted my Mac, and there it was! I is still not listed in Word, but if I go to the font tab and open "Font Collections," there it is. Everything seems to be working; I've used the font now and no crashes or freezes. Will keep you updated if some bad stuff happens. Thanks so much for giving me the courage to do this!!
