If you asked the question because you want to upload these files,
simply edit LocalSettings.php and add the extensions to
$wgFileExtensions.  E.g.
  $wgFileExtensions = array('gif','png','jpg','jpeg','svg','xls','doc','ppt');

Note that it usually isn't a good idea to upload e.g. word documents
in wiki as you lose a lot of flexibility both in reading and updating
documentation.  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:

Kind regards,
