update: i did try out what you asked, in ms excel, and i'd like to
explain your situation to others.

i don't understand why you keep saying that the cursor goes down and
right. to me it looked like down and left...unless you use RTL
language.
this is something that i don't think can be turned on or off in excel
and which doesn't have a standard way of happening.

1. on a blank spreadsheet in ms excel. type ID, Name, Age (or any 3
headers for that matter)
2. make sure that you press tab only and type the 3 headers in 3 adjacent cells
3. press enter after entering in the 3rd cell. it will move down and
back to under the 1st heading.
 however this is not generalized. so it can't be an option. if on the
next line you press enter instead of tab at the cell right under 2nd
heading (Name in my example), the cursor will go down n the feature of
moving down n back left to 1st heading is disrupted. it just doesn't
happen.
its kind of the "i think you want to write a letter" intelligence of MS office.

it isn't something that happens uniformly. so this kind of feature
would need a lot of pushing and voting and developer interest to
bother about getting started. in my opinion its bad to get used to
such luxury extensions. :p
