I'm working on a document and want to change the word "butt" to the
word "bottom" and I'm hoping I can do this in the entire document
without going through every paragraph. Is there a command I can use
to do that?

Thanks

Go to the "Tools" menu pulldown and select "Replace". This will give
you the "Find and Replace" dialogue. In that dialogue, click the
"More" button. This gives a bigger version of the dialogue. Then
select the "Find Whole Words Only" box, over on the left. Then type in
the word you want to change in the "Find what" field, and the word you
want to change it to in the "Replace with" field. Then click on the
"Replace All" button.
