PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT
TO PROSPECTUS DATED OCTOBER 3, 1996
[LOGO]
U.S. Office Products Company (the "Company") has prepared this Prospectus
Supplement to identify certain additional persons (the "New Selling
Securityholders") using the Company's Prospectus, dated October 3, 1996,
covering the Company's 5 1/2% Convertible Subordinated Notes due 2003 (the
"Notes") in the aggregate principal amount of $86.25 million, for resale of
their Notes.
The following table sets forth the principal amount of Notes beneficially
owned by each New Selling Securityholder, the principal amount of Notes offered
pursuant to the Prospectus (the "Offered Notes"), the percent of outstanding
Notes that each New Selling Securityholder will have after consummation of the
offering, and the number of shares of the Company's common stock, par value
$.001 per share (the "Common Stock"), that may be offered when and if the Notes
are converted into Common Stock (the "Conversion Shares"). None of the New
Selling Securityholders has, or within the past three years, has had, any
position, office or other material relationship with the Company or any of its
predecessors or affiliates. Because the New Selling Securityholders may offer
all or some portion of the Offered Notes or the Conversion Shares pursuant to
the Prospectus, no estimate can be given as to the amount of Offered Notes or
the Conversion Shares that will be held by the New Selling Securityholders upon
termination of any such sales. The table has been prepared based upon
information furnished to the Company by the New Selling Securityholders.
