If you need to transfer information from a Word document which is full of hyperlinks and text into the wiki, these steps will help you succeed - FAST.

# Open Libre Office Writer (which can be installed on any Microsoft machine, and is compatible with Word)
# Copy your paragraph into the Libre Office page, then save it (as an .odt document) 
# Copy the paragraph you need with all the hyperlinks.[[File:Export selection of text.jpg|border|right|600x600px]]
# Click the top row tab 'File', choose 'Export', then select both boxes as seen on the right. These are 'Automatic file name extension' and the 'Selection'.  Save as a MediaWiki.txt file.<br clear="all">
# Then open the MediaWiki.txt with a text editor such as Notepad. The MediaWiki text will be seen as the 'source edit' code ready to paste into your wiki page. As below.
