    Tap ⌥ on its own to show the keytips, then R for Review, A for Check Accessibility, H for Accessibility Help.

What Alt R A H does

Accessibility Help sits under Review › Check Accessibility on the Excel ribbon. On Windows, Alt R A H runs it from the keyboard. Excel for Mac has the same ribbon but no Alt key, so without LightningXL you click through Review › Check Accessibility › Accessibility Help instead.
