JAWS Screen Reader

Is there any way to emphasize certain points on a Word document written
in textonly for the visually challenged audience? Don't want to have
unusually burdensome text for people to have to access.

Heard underlining or bold text makes it harder for JAWS to read in some
versions, in others has no effect so there would be no advantage to
using it. At one time all caps was said to be easier for screen readers
to pick up. Please give me any info you may have on this.
