There is an office plugin for the "Confluence" wiki
(
http://www.atlassian.com/software/confluence/personal-wiki.jsp) called
"Save-To-Wiki" that lets you upload Word or Excel docs directly to the
wiki, or alternatively just lets you copy the converted markup to your
clipboard so you can paste it yourself.
Confluence is a lot harder to setup and maintain than MediaWiki though,
as it uses a TomCat instance. There may be similar Wiki markup
exporters for MediaWiki and other popular Wikis.
