What have you tried?
You do not want to find any text in Bold that is not combined in a Word that has non-bold text? Correct?

I can't think of a way to do this with a wildcard search.

I think you will need a macro stepping through all words in the document to find the ones where the Font.Bold is undefined. You might be able to speed the macro up by using find to jump to bold text first.

When you find the instances, what do you want to do with them?

Thank you for your suggestion.

The word document is the output of the Storyline file. I need find these instances and to give space in between the non bold text and bold text Storyline file.

I also shared the sample document and sample issue screenshot - https://imgur.com/lLqYanN

If you mark your document as belonging to Brazilian Portuguese, the Word spellchecker will flag all such coalesced words, and suggest appropriate corrections.

The spell check suggestion is a great way to approach this problem.

If you wanted to specifically do this with find/replace you could run a series to:
1 find bold text and add spaces on either side of the found result, then
2. with no formatting set, remove white space from start and end of paragaphs and finally
3. replace double spaces with one space.
