That is why I have always wanted to make a macro for Word to do some
cleanup.  It has a pretty powerful search and replace feature that would
really help with complicated problems in scans.  I haven't figured out how
to make macros, though.  I seemed to be having a screen reader problem when
I tried to investigate, but it also had a good chance of just being my total
lack of experience with that particular feature.  The task is really
daunting besides. :-)
