I accidentally answered "yes" to replacing an existing document with a
new one of the same name.  Is there any way to recover the old document?

Unless you've set the file to always create backup, or you have some
third-party backup/file recovery software, you're out of luck...

If you haven't closed the document yet and you've overwritten the last
version of your file, you can command-z back to the version you replaced and
save _that_ under a  different name. A long shot, but this has saved me a
couple of times ...
