tesseract ocr options?

tesseract ocr has worked well for me in many cases,
but sometimes it separates columns vertically instead
of keeping columns of data on the same line.

For example a jpg showing a list of names and addresses
with the names followed by the addresses on the same line,
but the ocr result has the list of names in a vertical line
followed by the addresses in a vertical line below the names
instead of on the same line as the names.

I found a man page that suggested using --psm N
with 10 different numeric options for N, but got no help.

$: tesseract namesandaddresses.jpg names --psm 4

Resulting error message:
Tesseract Open Source OCR Engine v3.03 with Leptonica
read_params_file: Can't open 4

Any suggestions how to fix this?
