wild card characters in rules in Outlook 2003

Can anyone advise re spam emails which come through with the word V***gra
(where the * are varying letters) - how do I specify the word just as I've
typed the word with the asterisks? I can't find anywhere where the wild card
characters are noted, and the rule I've tried to stop these emails doesn't
work: ie
with v???gra in the subject or body
move to the Junk email folder

If there's no easy way to make this work, can you tell me what might stop
these (and other) junk emails? I use AVG Free and Microsoft software updates.
thanks

You are more likely to get a response to this if you post it in a newsgroup
related to the software you are using. This is a .Net Programming
newsgroup.
