Adding wildcard to Outlook rules?

I have a Outlook 2002 rule to delete spam. The rule is set up as:

Apply this rule after the message arrives
with "qualifiers go here" in the subject
move it to the Spam folder
and stop processing more rules

My question is, can I place a qualifier that has a wildcard in it? Such as, I received an email with the word "PremiumOffers" in the subject field. Could I place a qualifier that is "*offer*" and it would get this email?

Thanks
 
Every 'qualifier' already functions as a wildcard. For example, the word test will catch testing.
