A longgggg time ago, Microsoft and Lotus were in a battle for customers.
In
order for MS to make it easier for longtime 123 users to make that switch
to
excel, MS included some transition settings that made excel behave the
same way
123 does.
Try toggling that setting and then hit the Home key, ctrl-home key or tab
key.
You'll see a difference in excel's behavior.
If you've never used Lotus 123 (or only use excel), I'd recommend turning
all
those transition settings off.

Many thanks - very interesting.

Long time since I last used Lotus 123 (on an early IBM PC using MS DOS) so,
as you say, I'll leave the transition settings off!
