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.

I've been using with considerable success Elfwreck's block scanning method. I use ABBYY's Sprint 6 version, which accomplishes in effect the same thing, but not with the same key punches. However, the instructions with my version are sadly scant and often erroneous. Does anyone who also employs this Sprint version know how to actually save the defined blocks once they're created?
