I have two questions:

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).
+ is there an automated way to get MS Word documents
in the Wiki and vice versa?
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:

(Watchout, macros might not be safe although they probably are)
