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.
