Many thanks for the replies.
Yes, now I've discovered how to use it, resetting the canvas size seems to be the way forward. My procedure now is to straighten the pages in XnView with Auto Deskew, then tidy up the results in XnConvert with Actions set consecutively to Crop and then Canvas resize. With my current example I cropped 100 pixels of each of the 4 edges of the straightened image then reset the canvas size to the original values. I'm sure that if I could be bothered to do the trigonometry I would find a very small, and totally insignificant, change in the size of the text.
Re using a white background; I'll see if I can work out what I was doing wrong.
And, finally, can I just say that since I discovered XnConvert and XnView some while ago I am constantly amazed by their versatility - and I haven't even scratched the surface of the menus yet! And when it comes to batch processing they have so far solved all my problems. I could do a lot of the operations with my copy of Photoshop Elements 9, but only if I worked on a page at a time.
