Hi Das Sorry I can't help with the actual file format, but you can access the words in the .dic file from "Tools-Options- Language Settings-Writing Aids" select your dictionary and choose "Edit" There is also a utility here:http://www.justlocal.com.au/clients/oooau/#Convert_custom_dictionary_to_a_list_of_words_ This will pull a list of words out of a custom dictionary, if you want to build a specialised dictionary.
