If we were coding a website from scratch, that would probably work. But I'm
not sure how screen readers would interpret both <strong> and <em> around
some text.

However, this is a Word document that must be 508-compliant and will
eventually be converted to XML, HTML and a PDF.
Word has character styles <strong> and <emphasis> and you can't apply both,
only one.

Why not <strong><em>text</em></strong> ? Is there anything wrong with using
both?

I have a client that needs to use both bold and italics on a section of text
that will be used on webpages.

Bold = <strong> and Italics =<em>, but what is recommended for bold+italics
on that text?
