I have a 20,000 row file I am supposed to "review" (a translation by someone else) While changing things, I made a mistake and now one particular word appears as ((word)) Naturally, the double brackets are NOT wanted.

In the Find & Replace dialogue, click More Options. You probably have "Regular expressions" ticked. Untick it and try again.
The "same" applies to searching for "," and replace that by "." (of course, none of these searches uses the ")
Remember that what you see in a spreadsheet cell may very well not be there! If those commas are fractional separators in numbers - e.g. 1,23 - they are not there in the same sense as then would be as text. The details of this depend on your locale settings.
