Duplicate records with various formats for fields

[Rbryant]

Is there a why to delete duplicates where record fields have different
formats. For example, a record that hass name as Mr. J. Jones will be
different to John Johns, or the address can have S. HWY instead of South
Highway. If there an easy way of deleting these records as duplicates
although the format may not be 100% the same?

Short answer: No.

You asked if there is a way to delete "duplicates" and then go on to explain
exactly why they are NOT duplicates. If they were true duplicates, it could
be done. But I see no practical way to do this other by use of close
examination combined with good hand-eye coordination.
