No, in general they aren't interchangeable, you can have sheet of steel rain is coming down in sheets but in general, esp in an office environment, you may assume that they are equal.

Hi,

My experience in offices is that you'll usually hear 'page', or 'piece of paper', but quite rarely 'sheet . . . '.

BrE might possibly be different.

Best wishes, Clive
