Default Finding words that are 34 characters or higher--search expression

Hello. I'm trying to get Word to automatically identify for me (through a
search) words that are 34 characters or higher (NOTE: Each word is separated
by a paragraph mark...it's essentially a long list 350 pages long). My search
routines thus far have not produced satisfactory results.

The searches I have been running include a wildcard search trying the
greater than or less than signs and including character signs (?). The
trouble here is that Word still picks up characters from the PREVIOUS word
and line, so it's not a clean search.

I'm trying to get Word to search, line-by-line, whether there are words
greater than or equal to 34 characters. The wildcard search also includes and
expression option, but I'm unsure about how to write the expression. Any
ideas and thanx!
