Actually, the papersize option to the documentclass declaration in itself doesn't do very much. You'll also need a package that can set the paper size, e.g., geometry, or use a class style that takes care of it (the koma classes do; don't know about memoir). I'm not an expert in any way, but I do know that setting the paper size in (La)TeX is a complex topic. (There's a reason why paper size is a configuration option of the TeX system itself...) -- Joost Kremers Life has its moments
