If your pages are the same size and layout, or close to it, you can save the text blocks you use, and load them on all the pages at once.

I have FineReader 7 Pro. How I'd do this:
-Go to a standard-looking page of your document
-Ctrl-E to place zones on the page. Delete unwanted text/image blocks.
-Shape wanted text block(s) to just a bit bigger than the main text of the page; give a bit of margin in case of pages that are shifted a bit to one side or the other.
-Image-->Save Blocks: save blocks out (usually with the name of the book, so you remember which one it is.
-Select all pages in your book (or all besides the cover page & TOC, which may need different zoning)
-Image-->Load Blocks; apply to selected pages.

This will only work if your pages are substantially identical--but it'll save hours if they are. And it can be done to all pages, and then you can quickly flip through and look for any that need to be zoned differently.
That is great advice! I have to go try this
