Do you have the latest version of Microsoft Office? They seem to update it often which includes accessibility fixes. I’ve experienced similar bugs to that before, although not recently.

For example, in the Design Table view, I can't see what type of field I'm choosing until after I choose it, and then I have to remember how many times I arrowed down to that one so I can arrow down one more for the next one. For example, if the one I choose is currency and I arrowed down 7 times to get there, I have to arrow down 8 times and hit escape to see what the next option is. Beyond that, every time I go to choose, I have to go through an error dialog that insists that the data entered is invalid.
