Count entries in mail merge document

I have a spreadsheet listing people and their dependents.  I am creating a mail merged personnel page listing the names of the dependents.  In excel, I can easily count the number of dependents.  Is there anyway for Word to count the number of non-blank entries that are made showing dependents names?
Answer
Answer
It depends on what the merged page looks like.

If each dependent's name is in a separate paragraph, select those paragraphs and click the word-count item in the status bar; the Word Count dialog will include the number of paragraphs.
