I have duplicates contacts, yet the duplicates are not identical. For
example, the street address is identical, yet the name is slight different
because of misspelling. Is there an automatic way to search for such
duplicates and remove them?

Thanks

As others have mentioned, finding "similars" is v. difficult.

Our duplicate remover (http://www.lbetoolbox.com/contactdedupe.htm) can be
set to match on on one or more of:

Full name
Category
Home Tel
Mobile Tel
Business Tel
Email
Company Name
Home Address
Business Address
Business Fax

So, you could just match on e..g Tel number.

If that still won't do it, What you could do is use our find&replace utility
(http://www.lbetoolbox.com/findreplace.htm) to "fix" your common
mis-typings, then use our duplicate remover (
