Please precise your question Oct 15, 2002

What kind of revisions are you asking about?

difference between revised and earlier versions of the same document? Oct 16, 2002

If you are talking about the difference of word count between revised version and earlier version of the same document, you might count both and take the difference.

revision count Oct 16, 2002

I have attempted to count revisions also without finding any way of actually doing that, so found it easier to time myself and charge by the hour instead, for example if with a charge 40 dollars and the revision taking 1/2 hour I charge 20, etc. If the revision takes 2 hours the charge is 80 (just examples). The pricing for revisions is something that is agreed upon between me and the client ahead of time.
