No practical experience with this, but:

a) OpenOffice.org Writer has a direct export filter for MediaWiki
format (exports to .txt files)

b) You haven't mentioned any specific wiki software/format, or a
specific version of Word; perhaps these links might be of some use:
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Word_macros
http://superuser.com/questions/21408/converting-word-documents-into-a-trac-wiki-format
(and links in the page)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Tools/Editing_tools#From_Microsoft_Word
(and if you need to always go through the intermediate HTML step, the
next topic in the same page may help -
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Tools/Editing_tools#From_HTML
).

HTH,
