I have a large documents folder in the wrong place in another folder as a sub-folder. How do I move that large folder containing Word documents and sub-folders, also containing other Word documents, to another area of Finder? These sub-folders contain Word documents also, but they should fall under another folder header.

It's very simple. Any folder and its contents can be moved to another location by simply dragging that folder to the desire location. Then, if desires, any of that folder's content may also be redirected by dragging the item(s) to any desired location. Is there something here that I've missed?

Here is more; and, perhaps this is what I need to change somehow. This happens when I try to select a file to open using Word. Apparently, Word associates files differently than Finder. When I try to open a Word file, they are arranged by most-recent access. I might try to figure out how to rearrange those so they are similar to the way they are arranged in Finder.
When you open a folder and see the files there, they can be arranged several ways. For example, under Apple's View menu, you have the option to display them as icons or as a list. If displayed as a list, you may then go to the Sort By link to determine which kind of list shall be displayed. I encourage you to check out the various options available to you so you can display your files in the way that best suits you. You will find that you do have available a number of views you can use.
I may have gotten into another place where I cannot do that. Hmmm...
I will look into it.
If you are having problems, please respond with as many specifics as you can. That is how we can evaluate what might be happening and then respond.
