Thanks for the help, a mod can probably close/delete this, I doubt it's gonna help anyone.

I do a lot of converting old magazines, usually two columns, to epubs. Also with centered text boxes, advertisements, "continued on page nn", and whatnot. There are no magic shortcuts. OCR a column at a time, put the text into Writer, proofread and correct, and then finally you can make an epub.
