<strong> vs <em>

for

Generator Microsoft Word 11 (filtered medium) I' ve heard on the grapevine that <strong> shouldn' t be used to emphasise text for screen readers as it shouts a word rather than emphasises it! If this is the case what can be used as an alternative? I' ve heard <em> can be used instead, however, I' m not sure how?
