Default search for words that are too long

hi
Is it possible to search for all words consisting of 8 letters or more without a space? I have a very long document that some of the words stuck with each other.
ex.
this is a greatday (great day).

Yacov

Do a wildcard search for
[A-Za-z]{8,}
Replace using wildcards

However a spell check should resolve your example.

thanks Graham. it works good.
i think spell check will not help here-the document is with old language from the bible.

I made a custom dictionary. But for some reason the software does not use it. But gives me errors according to the dictionary in normal Hebrew that is in the software. (Although I have disabled the choice of dictionaries that come with the software by default).
