The role of words and inversions in molecular biology led to a unified study of inversions on words. In this paper, we use a generalization of the concept of inversion termed as block inversion on finite rich words. A comparison of block inversion on finite total words and on finite words is made. We conclude that the total number of words in the block inversion set of a finite rich word of length is strictly less than .
