Default Margins problem after OCR to Word

Hi again everyone,

Once more i'm OCR'ing a book, and transfer the result to Word.
My goal is to keep the exact layout of each page, and Omnipage helps me perfectly for that.

The problem i have is the Word file i obtain is a collection of individual pages of slightly different sizes and margins.

And each time, due to different right and left margins, the text is never centered correctly inside the word sheet.

I have tried creating a blank document with a fixed custom size and margins and pasted in it all the created word document (with the option "match destination formatting" for pasting between documents), but it keeps matching the source formatting anyway.

I can of course center the text by visually adjusting it manually in the page or by entering the desired margins in the custom margins dialog, for each page.

But for 300 pages, it would be extremely time consuming.
Is there a way to batch process this ?

Thanks for your help.
