Is it possible to keep users who need to be able to add change Word docs and Excel docs from deleting or moving the files, The need to be able to open and edit the files.

 
You ste those permissions by putting those users in a group. Then you assign that group those permissions to that doc or folder.
 
On the Security tab you first give them modify permissions. Then click the advanced button, highlight the group that you want to modify permissions for, and click edit. Now uncheck the box that says delete, and you should be good to go. They should be able to do anything but delete the file, and since a move is really a copy + delete, that should cover it.
