For the most part, they follow the same structure of a plain text file where each line is a single record. The file begins with a header record, then has data records on each subsequent line, and then the last line is a trailer record.
Data records are typically fixed width data followed by chevron seperated variable width data.
For example company number, followed by company name would be:
00000000<COMPANY NAME<
00000000<COMPANY NAME<
The formats for each file are described in a Word document specification.
