Is there a way that I can replace one word in a document that is in it like
100 times

Use the Replace dialog (Ctrl+H). Put in the word that's in the document, and
the text you want to replace it with, and click the Replace All button.

And... keep in mind that if the word you're replacing is contained in the
interior of other words, they will be changed, too... perhaps contrary to
what you want (e.g., if you replace "live" with "exist", you might end up
replacing relive, liver, and liverworst with things such as reexist,
exister, and existerworst). So, you might want to click the More button
andpay attention to options such as Find whole words only, Match case, and
Find all word forms.

All good suggestions Herb. I also regularly "search" for <space>word<space>
then replace <space>term<space> as a work around.

Note, however, that, unlike checking "Find whole words only," this would not
find instances of the word followed by punctuation.
