FineReader's page formatting is pretty shitty for the most part. I've yet to see a single document I scanned where it produced good results. I suffered through too much trouble before finding out that saving to a file format that doesn't have these obnoxious textboxes is really the only way to get a decent document.
What I do most of the time is to save as HTML, then load the saved document in a text editor (Notepad++) and remove the stylesheet references by looking for all '<span class=' occurences and replacing them until none are left. I trust this method much more than relying on word processing software to keep a clean file and can be certain to be rid of all font changes FineReader inserts. After this process the only thing left will be italic, bold and similar effects.
