Ok for the big repeat loop idea.However, how do I put it outside of the tell statements... If I put the start of the repeat loop before the tell app Entourage, it states the variable is not set. If I put it inside of that tell statement, then the end repeat has to be before the end tell for entourage.. Just not sure how to implement a repeat loop for all of this.
The reason for saving to word is because I really dislike the way it saves and looks in the text files in txt format.  

 Here's a version of your script that works OMM.  The changes were relatively minor; you should examine them.

Oh, and for the record, "get default file path file path type documents path" has got to be the most confusing AS command ever - or, perhaps, second to 'set default file path file path type documents path path "some path goes here"'. :)


tell application "Microsoft Entourage" to set selectedMessages to current messages

if selectedMessages is {} then
    display dialog "Please select a message first and then run this
script." with icon 1
    return
end if

 tell application "Microsoft Word"
    set originalPath to (get default file path file path type documents path)
    set default file path file path type documents path path "Macintosh HD:Users:myuser:Documents:Entourage dump"
 end tell

repeat with theMessage in selectedMessages
     tell application "Microsoft Entourage"
        set theName to subject of theMessage
        set theContent to content of theMessage
     end tell
    display dialog theName
    set fileName to do shell script "echo " & quoted form of theName & " | tr '[:punct:]' ' '"
    tell application "Microsoft Word"
        set newDoc to make new document
        set name of font object of text object of newDoc to "Times New
Roman"
        set oRange to create range active document start 0 end 0
        set content of oRange to theContent
        set oRange to change end of range oRange by a word item extend type by selecting
        save as newDoc file name fileName
        close document theName
     end tell
end repeat

tell application "Microsoft Word" to set default file path file path type documents path path originalPath
