Has anyone got an inventive method of opening reams of photocopy paper?

It's universal. It's inevitable. It's messy. You go into the copyroom at the office, and the copier is asking for more paper; so you pull out a ream of 500 sheets. It's wrapped all nicely like a gift from the stationary store in the brand paper. HOW DO YOU OPEN IT PROPERLY?? Practically every instance that I have needed to replenish the copier, it NEVER takes whole reams. There is ALWAYS some paper left over that needs to be put in later. I am looking for a (quick) good way to unwrap and remove some of the paper without leaving the wrapper all mangled and messy. Does anyone have tips for this compulsive copy paper lady?? I have considered just taking the remainder out of the 'wrapper', and find a decent basket/box to keep it. But it has to be fairly protected, and this will be frequent.

I dunno about opening it "properly", but I use a small box-cutter knife to slit along one edge of the ream, and simply peel the wrapping back. You can then simply tip the thing up to remove the ream Simple :@) Scots
