I accidentally changed a document that I shouldn't have changed. Now I need
to get the original document back -- anyone know how I can get the old
version of the document back? It's saved -- control Z doesn't work, and I've
lost a really important document.

If you don't have a backup and Undo doesn't work, it's gone.

If it's still open you can do is copy/paste the current content to a new
document and then close the original document without saving changes.

Otherwise, if it has been closed the only way to get it back is from your
backups. If you don't have any then unfortunately there is nothing you can
do.
