This topic has come up several times before.
I recently searched old mail on this topic.
Here are some things I found that seem relevant.
Maybe some of these will help you.
This is clearly a topic of importance to many people.

I removed most of the message text to keep this short.
I think you will be able to find the original threads that interest you.

I import Microsoft Word documents with
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension_talk:Word2MediaWikiPlus 
which converts documents and pictures and facilitates uploading both, 
though it's for cut-and-paste, one document at a time.  
It took me ~3 hours to clean up, convert 
and upload ~500,000 words in ~30 long documents.
