Default narrow text block in doc produced by OCR

I produced a Word doc by running scanned pages through OCR software (ABBYY FineReader).

The resulting Word doc has text blocks that are too narrow. I mean, it looks like the margins are very wide. On some pages the text is a little more to the left, and on others, a little more to the right, but always too narrow.

No graphics or fancy formatting here, just simple pages from a text-only book.

I tried setting the margins to normal, and removing all indentations, and running inspect document, but to no avail.

I am viewing it in print layout. Web layout does work normally, but I need print layout.

I attached the doc, in case anyone wants to take a look.

edit: I know that I could paste it into a new document and choose "keep text only", but then I will lose some important formatting.
