I have the same problem with colours disappearing when trying to print or
print preview a 3-level Group with MsP07. Is there any solution to this bug
yet? If not, when?

Thanks

Hello Marcus,

I've responded to your other post. The short answer is there hasn't
been a change in the 30 days since the original post. Sorry for the
