Hi to you all,
I have two questions: + what is the syntax for linking to a file on my own computer or a nearby server? + is there an automated way to get MS Word documents in the Wiki and vice versa?
Many thanks in advance.

The protocol for local file is 'file://' but MediaWiki does not parse it for security reasons. You might add it by editing the Parser.php file (look for place where http:// mailto: etc protocols are set).

I think there is some macros around to convert a MS Word or OpenOffice document to wiki syntax. None of them are actually supported by the development team :o)
On the french wikipédia:
Word: http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikip%C3%A9dia:Macro_Word Download: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/fr/d/da/Wikipedia4.dot
OpenOffice: http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikip%C3%A9dia:Macro_OpenOffice.org Download: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/fr/5/5a/Macro_Wikip%C3%A9dia_OpenOffic...
(Watchout, macros might not be safe although they probably are)
cheers,
