Is there a set standard on how to handle the version number of documents?

Paperless Rev Control

We use the properties window (avalaible in Excel & Word) to list the reason for change and the effective date. A disclaimer is on the bottom of documents mentioning it is the users responsibility to ensure their hardcopy matches the softcopy published...The publish date is in the document header which is then posted to an intranet site (as a pdf file) that is write locked to all the company but myself and the IT group to ensure security. Employees can retrieve original format documents and save them to their PC to make changes then route to others for approval before submitting the revised document. I then pdf and post the new document along with a company wide email containing a brief message about the change and the link as well. This avoids remembering alpha-numeric rev control and helps save a few trees.

There is a Standard, available from American Society of Mechanical Engineers - Y14.35M - 1997 Revision of Engineering Drawings and Associated Documents

The Standard specifically addresses numbering systems for revisions. This Standard is equally applicable to any document, especially documents which are "controlled."

My point of view has always been, "Why reinvent the wheel if someone not only has done it, but keeps making improvements?"

Maybe because the do-it-yourself method is free, quick, custom, and does not require you to acquire, maintain, and keep-up with another outside standard. Because this (creating your own versioning) is so easy it seems an ideal candiate for doing it yourself. Neither way (your own way or the ASME way) is wrong IMO.
