The tress are first chopped down, then chipped up into small pieces, made into a pulp, where they are then made into paper. That's the "gist" of it. For the nitty-gritty details, you may want to check out howstuffworks or other sites. Here's a neat site I found: www.idahoforests.org/paprmake.htm
It's a good eye opener, I was under the impression we actually had "paper harvesting trees" - but this site says this isn't the case, paper/pulp is made from the left-over wood that can't be used as lumber.
