Would I use file:// for excel docs and word docs? And if so, could someone provide an example of how a link might look? (Code) I've tried this example and still do not get a working link.
Your question suggests to me a misunderstanding: the "file:///" (as opposed to, say "http://") is related to the *location* of the document, not its type. Be they HTML web-pages, XLS spreadsheets, or MP3 music tracks, files exist somewhere, and that somewhere is the target of your link. If the somewhere is on the web, you have a URI that goes like "http://foo.example.com/bar/baz.quux"; if on your hard-drive, or on your network, you need to describe it in terms of the network, and you end up with something like [I think] "file:///server/folder/subfolder/file.extension". So in wiki-code (once you've modified the Parser.php, as described at http://tinyurl.com/4sf3z) you type:
[file:///server/folder/subfolder/file.extension Description of link]
Hope this helps.
