If you used a Character Style for emphasis, you might get something closer to my example above:

Code:
In <i>Book Title</i>, the character said: "Not in <span class="emphasis">my</span> house."
Not ideal, but towards the right direction.

In Fiction, Styles are also important when marking inner thoughts or "telepathic speaking":

Code:
<span class="innerthought">Wow, I did <em>not</em> do good at all.</span>
Note: Italics within italics = not italic (Normal/Roman).

What usually happens is you get this in your Word->HTML:

Code:
<i>Wow, I did</i> not <i>do good at all.</i>
Ultimately, you would want to aim towards HTML like this:

Code:
<i class="innerthought">Wow, I did <em>not</em> do good at all.</i>
plus this tiny line in your CSS:

Code:
i em { font-style: normal; }
Why would you want <i> and <em> to be normal? That just defeats the purpose.
