         INSPECTORS OF ELECTION PRELIMINARY REPORT CONFIRMS ELECTION OF
                        MOORE NOMINEES TO WALLACE BOARD

TORONTO  (December 13, 1995) -- Moore  Corporation  Limited (TSE, ME, NYSE: MCL)
announced  today that it received from the  independent  inspectors of election,
Corporation  Trust  Company,  the  preliminary  results of the proxy voting from
Wallace Computer  Services' (NYSE:  WCS) annual meeting that was held on Friday,
December 8, 1995.

The report confirmed that Moore's three nominees were elected to Wallace's Board
of  Directors by 66% of the Wallace  shares voted at the meeting,  or 56% of the
outstanding  shares.  Moore's three  nominees were Curtis A. Hessler,  Albert W.
Isenman  III and Robert P.  Rittereiser.  A  plurality  of the votes cast in the
election of  directors  was  required  to elect each  nominee.  Wallace's  three
nominees,  including  the  company's  current chief  executive  officer,  Robert
Cronin,  received only 31% of the shares cast at the meeting, or just 26% of the
total outstanding shares.

Reto  Braun,  Chairman  and CEO of  Moore,  said,  "We are  gratified  that  the
inspectors' preliminary report confirms the election of our nominees by a margin
greater  than two to one.  We also  find it  noteworthy  that 70% of the  shares
present were voted in favor of removing Wallace's entire Board of Directors.  We
view this  vote as yet  another  clear  and  unambiguous  message  to  Wallace's
directors  that the vast majority of the Wallace  shareholders  support  Moore's
offer and soundly reject the "just say no" posture of the Wallace Board."

In addition,  Moore's  proposal to repeal any changes to Wallace's  bylaws which
may have been made after  February 15, 1995 and prior to the annual  meeting was
adopted. This proposal received 69% of the votes cast, or 60% of the outstanding
shares. In order to have been adopted,  this proposal needed to be approved by a
simple majority vote of Wallace's outstanding shares. Two other Moore proposals,
one to remove  all of the  present  members of  Wallace's  Board and a second to
reduce the number of directors to five,  each  received 70% of the shares voted,
or 60% of the outstanding shares.  These two proposals needed the favorable vote
of 80% of all of Wallace's  outstanding shares in order to be adopted.  With 86%
of  Wallace's   outstanding   shares   represented  at  the  meeting,   the  80%
supermajority vote was an extremely high hurdle to cross.
