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.

Thanks! I will give it a try. The "save without headers or footers" thing is super fast, but AFAIK only works when you save to Word format. Knowing how to accomplish the task when saving to any format will be extremely useful if I ever change reading devices. Which will probably happen eventually, even though I have two backup Zodiacs...
