I would say a logical and appropriate starting point would be OpenOffice.

http://www.openoffice.org/dev_docs/source/get_source.html

It may not get you 100% of the way to understanding 2003, but it should give you enough of a starting point to get something accomplished.

Try searching for "Compound File", "Structured Storage" or "IStorage". There are a few interesting hits:

Isn't it kinda late to be writing an Office fuzzer now?
