I agree that the OCR process is a likely cause of these inconsistencies. OCR output may look OK, but it often is not formatted in the best way possible.

You can select all the content with Ctrl+A and then change the indent for all the text using the Paragraph dialog box. Whether that is efficient in practice will depend on the rest of the document. Maybe some settings actually need to be different in different text ranges.

Note that for a large selection, the Paragraph dialog box (as any dialog box in Word that reflects formatting in the document) will indicate that some options are "undefined." This just means that Word can't tell if they are the same for all paragraphs in the selection. See the screen shot for an example.
