When I OCR'd a document, the resulting text appeared as shown below (See Input). I would like the text in each sentence to be combined so it appears in sentence form. For example, I would like the first six lines below to appear as follows:
Kenny Washington was more than a great football player.
How can I do that?
Howard
Input
Kenny-
Washington
was
more than
a great football
player.
He was "a real gentleman."
That's
what Al Solari
of
Reno says.
He was
the kind of man
who was
really
dedicated," Solari,
who was a freshman
halfback
at UCLA in
1940
when Washington was coaching the frosh backs, said.
