As part of this process, you do NOT MOVE WordPress, you are simply having the URLs for posts and pages display from the root instead of the subdirectory. All the images, uploaded files, themes, plugins, wp application, etc. are still in the subdirectory. Does that answer your question?

Thanks WordPress Girl - this was a big help! This worked for me:
1) Using FTP, copied index.php to my computer, then copied index.php to the root directory of site – /web , in my case
2) Under dashboard//settings/general:
 WordPress Address (URL) - left ‘as is’, pointing to /web/wordpress folder
 Site Address (URL)           - changed to site homepage (different from WP folder files)

Had issue with site still pointing to old home page.
3) Renamed index.hm to old-index.htm – it WORKED! 
(index.htm is first place that code looks  to establish home page, so this MUST be renamed so index.php can be accessed first) 

Minor wp-admin issue occurred – could not login to site, so had to add /wordpress/wp-admin to site name for site updates (wp-admin file is still under wordpress files, not root directory) Will leave this way for the time being.

Thanks WordPress Girl – this was a big help!
