My shredder is a 'cross cut' type and the paper is actually like confetti. I use this as mulch in my garden, bedding for my worms and the 'brown' in my cold compost pile. I use the term 'cold compost' for the pile that I am actually pretty lazy about. My worms are the best at really getting the composting done!

I compost mine too. However, I soak mine first in water inorder to help the paper break down easier in the compost pile.

This is excellent advice. I have 5 gallon bucket (with lid!) in my kitchen that I put food scraps, leftover coffee/tea, and all paper that isn't shiny to dump on my compost pile. Paper is excellent "brown" material, including receipts, paper bags, newspaper, thin cardboard.
