You do not need to download OneDrive, Word already has direct access to it when you sign in with your Microsoft Account.
If you are currently viewing a document in the Word app, tap on the < arrow on the top left corner of the App to bring up the menu bar. You can tap on the "Open" folder icon, then on ... More, then on a location in the left Pane. If you tap on "On My iPad" you can create them directly on the iPad and not on One Drive or iCloud.
If you choose "On My iPad" then you'll need to choose an App/folder there in which to create the folder. It cannot be created on that top level. Choose the Word App/Folder and then drag down the file view to bring up the tools. You can tap on the small folder with a plus icon on the top left to add a new folder.
To save files to that folder, tap on the page icon with the 3 dots at the top left corner next to the < icon, and navigate to the folder.
To delete a folder, just press down on the folder you want to delete to bring up the black ribbon with several options, one of which is Delete.
You will need to go through the "More..." option to get the Browse view and the Delete option however.

Method 1
So first you'll need to install onedrive, it's basically the cloud service for all of your projects on Microsoft. First off you'll need to log in to your Microsoft account, then once you get on to the main screen where you see all your documents well, folders in the corner you will see a little + sign press that sign and tap folder, name it and go into the documents folder. Here you will see all of your word, powerpoint, excel and onenote projects so once you've found the desired files 3D touch on one of them or the one you want you will see that the top is blue and in that ribbon you will see a folder icon with an arrow on it tap that. Now you may see that it will take you in to portrait mode, anyway tap the folder you created at the bottom press on move and your all set.
Note: Im on iOS 9 so things may look different for you
Method 2
This is only if you have iOS 11 or over tap on the files app add a service and tap onedrive (You need the app onedrive) and sign in to it if asked and you can now move folders and feed them The Apple way. The mechanics are a bit different, but you should know them a bit more than onedrive because you own the iPad Pro, but you could of just bought the surface go. It's just my guess.
Thank you for your help. I dont have the ipad pro just the regular ipad. Somehow the other night i made folders on word on my ipad and put documents into them and now cant remember how i did it. I also created a few word folders but now want to deleat them
I have just started to use my ipad more for my business.
Ok now a new problem...I had to get a new iPad and now when I go into the word app none of my folders are showing up. I find them in drop box and it looks like something is still downloading(had the cloud with and arrow)
ok so when i click on that bottom document it just opens it up and doesnt give option to deleat
Hope this helped
😗☺😊
Ok, If you could screenshot a page of what you want to delete that would help
Just 3D touch on it and press delete
Ok i think this is helping but i still cant deleate a folder when i press down nothing happens. Also cant deleate a document?

3D touch and delete
Got it! Now how do i move a doc from one folder to a new folder.
|Hold on a second
Same way you delete, just tap the "Move" option instead, and navigate to the folder you wish to move it to, then tap on the word "Move".
