I might have got this wrong...but this is how I usually worked it out:

Read the sentence back to yourself then wherever:

the inflection or tone of voice changes when you read certain words then it's <em>
you say a word loudly, use <strong>

I guess it's open to interpretation though, and if you tend to read sentences in a monotonous tone then you have no chance! :D

Kind Regards,
