I can't think of RISC OS apps that do it but you can achieve it
between MSWord and Xara - MSWord offers Xara a choice of plain text or
Metafile and if you choose Metafile you get something like what you
started with.

Agreed, but if ArtWorks supported one of the text markup formats eg
DDL, DDF, or RTF then it could achieve the preservation of styles with
drag and drop.
It works between EasiWriter and Publisher+. (Save as RTF from EW and
drop the icon on to Publisher.)
