Hello,
In stead of creating a wikitext page to contain the contents of a doc
file,
I uploaded the doc file as an Image. It works fine
until I try to update
the doc file. I opened the file following the link on Image:FileX.doc
page
and make my changes. Since I could not save it
directly, I saved it to
the
HD of the local machine. I then uploaded what I have
just saved as a new
version of the Image:FileX.doc. I did not get any error or warning so I
assume it worked successfully. By now I think you know what I am going
to
say -- I did not get the updates. The link in
Image:FileX.doc page still
points to the old stuff! Anybody knows any solution? Thank you in
advance.

Did you verify that it's not a browser cache issue? (Try pressing the
<shift> key while hitting the browser reload button.)
FWIIW, storing docs in wikis isn't a good idea as you lose the ease of
reading and updating through the browser. If you have Word documents
you want to migrate to wiki, there are decent word to mediawiki
conversion tools around to help you. We're using this one:
