[Athen] Screen readers perceiving emphasized text in Word or HTML

[Corrine Schoeb]

Hi all,

Working on some documents for a student who uses screen readers, primarily
NVDA and VoiceOver.

How do I indicate that text has emphasis?  For a sighted person we do this
with bold and/or italics, but I'm not sure how to do this with so a screen
reader can perceive the emphasis.

We are creating Word documents now for the student, but could create HTML
if there is a better way to do it with that tool.

Thanks for any advice.
