Gradient in MS Office and LO are incompatible in many ways. But we should import it as a gradient near to that in MS Office. Currently the import has only "solid". Bitmap fill and pattern fill are missing too.
Regina Henschel committed a patch related to this issue. It has been pushed to "master": https://git.libreoffice.org/core/commit/260735ff98631b94ae8737cf1cead3e20bade618 tdf#139618 Add WordArt fill types in pptx import It will be available in 7.6.0. The patch should be included in the daily builds available at https://dev-builds.libreoffice.org/daily/ in the next 24-48 hours. More information about daily builds can be found at: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Testing_Daily_Builds Affected users are encouraged to test the fix and report feedback.
Not only gradients but bitmap fill and transparency works now too. When you test gradients please keep in mind, that gradients in MS Office and LibreOffice are in many aspects principle incompatible and problems you know from fill of shapes exist for WordArt in the same way.
Looks fantastic in Version: 7.6.0.0.alpha0+ (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 0483b0a4bbd41f026a53ff35ab3162b57bee1a91 CPU threads: 8; OS: Linux 5.10; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3 Locale: en-US (es_ES.UTF-8); UI: en-US Calc: threaded @Regina, thanks for fixing this issue!!
