This needs to be reported to Microsoft
Narrator reports the same shortcut.
This is definitely a Word bug. I'll get it reported to the Word team.

Which I appreciate. I reported this through Word's built-in feedback mechanism, too, but it counts for more when it comes from the development arm of any company that maintains a screen reader.
Steps to reproduce:
NOTE: This behavior is NOT exclusive to NVDA. JAWS is doing it too. I suspect this is a bug in what Microsoft Word 365 is exposing to the screen reader to read, but I wanted to put the issue officially on record so it could be pursued with Microsoft if needed.
Actual behavior:
NVDA Reads the following: Help tab selected Alt, Y 12 of 14 Table Tools grouping Table Design tab selected Alt, Y , J T 13 of 14 Layout tab selected Alt, Y , J L 14 of 14
Expected behavior:
NVDA (or any screen reader should read) Help tab selected Alt, Y 12 of 14 Table Tools grouping Table Design tab selected Alt , J T 13 of 14 Layout tab selected Alt , J L 14 of 14
The inclusion of the Y in the keyboard shortcut sequence as its currently reported is wrong and misleading. If you start the command sequence with ALT + Y, none of what follows can be executed because you are already in the Help Ribbon.
