Default
You could do the standard word count, then use Find/Replace to replace all the non-breaking spaces with themselves. Word will tell you how many replacements were made. Or just use Find with the Navigation pane or the 'Reading Highlight' option to get a count. Deduct the figure returned by whichever of those methods you use from the standard word count.
