Gentlemen:
 
    As special counsel for Workflow Management, Inc., a Delaware corporation
(the "Company"), we are familiar with the Company's Registration Statement on
Form S-1, first filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
"Commission") under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), on
February 19, 1998, as amended by Amendment No. 1 to the Registration Statement
filed with the Commission on May 1, 1998, Amendment No. 2 to the Registration
Statement filed with the Commission on May 18, 1998, Amendment No. 3 to the
Registration Statement filed with the Commission on June 4, 1998, and Amendment
No. 4 to the Registration Statement filed with the Commission on June 9, 1998,
as may be further amended or supplemented (collectively, the "Registration
Statement"), with respect to the distribution (the "Distribution") of up to
14,625,268 shares of the Common Stock, $.001 par value (the "Common Stock"), of
the Company by U.S. Office Products Company (the "Shares") in a spin-off
transaction.
 
    In connection with the foregoing, we have examined (i) the Certificate of
Incorporation of the Company filed with the Secretary of State of Delaware on
February 12, 1998, (ii) the Certificate of Amendment to the Certificate of
Incorporation filed with the Secretary of State of Delaware on February 26,
1998; (iii) the By-Laws of the Company; (iv) the form of stock certificate for
Common Stock of the Company, and (v) such records of the corporate proceedings
of the Company, such certificates of public officials and such other documents
as we deemed necessary to render this opinion.
 
    Based on such examination and assumption, we are of the opinion that:
 
1.  The Company is a corporation duly incorporated and existing under the laws
    of the State of Delaware.
 
2.  The Shares will be duly authorized and when distributed in accordance with
    the Registration Statement will be validly issued, fully paid and
    nonassessable.
 
    We hereby consent to the filing of this Opinion as Exhibit 5 to the
Registration Statement and the reference to us in the Prospectus which is part
of the Registration Statement.
 
                                          Very truly yours,
 
                                          WILMER, CUTLER & PICKERING
