For small tweaks it is most effective for them and easier for you to follow an annotated pdf version.

They will then save this pdf with comments and send it to you, this way you get an easy to follow list of changes directly in Acrobat.

If the client doesn't know about this, and many times they won't, just send them this video which demonstrates this in under 1 minute:

Whenever our copywriter has edits to his work, he sends us the original Word document (and a PDF version) with changes, with all of the changes highlighted in yellow. It's by far more efficient than what most clients do, which is a. send us a pdf with messy and hard-to-read correction tags or b. send us a stream of corrections in an email. I would suggest requesting that your clients send revisions like that.
