I was thinking of something more along the lines of:
- copy text into Word (or whatever)
- set page size as A4
- set margins as 2.5 cm all around
- set font as Arial 10 pt
- find your passage (text search or whatever)
- take your reference from here
Or even better:
- select passage with stylus
- click the "standard reference" button/menu item
- use the reference the cleverly programmed reading software calculates for you based on the "standard" page size and format
