Default macro to delete rows?

Hi
a while ago a nice chap called John sent me a macro which deletes rows where
the data is identical. This has been extremely helpful for some time. The
data I deal with is names and addressess in columns A-J.
I need to adapt or use a macro that can delete rows where the data in column
E (first line of address) is identical but where the data in other columns
may be different due to typing errors.
I would like to understand how to do this so that I can then maybe change
the code to say delete rows where it is maybe another column where the data
is identical.
This is the code/instruction I have in my worksheet at the moment:

Sub DeleteDups()

Dim ws1 As Worksheet
Dim lastrow As Long
Dim r As Long


Set ws1 = Worksheets("ORIGINAL")
With ws1
lastrow = .Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row
For r = lastrow To 2 Step -1
If Application.And(.Cells(r, "A") = .Cells(r - 1, "A"), .Cells(r,
"C") = _
.Cells(r - 1, "C"), .Cells(r, "J") = .Cells(r - 1, "J")) Then
.Rows(r).Delete shift:=xlUp
End If

Next r

End With



End Sub

Many Thanks
