i use a scanner all the time. if you want to move to the next column, just go to
tools/options/edit and change the move selection after enter to "right"
program the scanner to enter the cr and you're all set.
in 2007, click the office button, then excel options and then advanced to change
the direction after enter is pressed.

the scanner i use defaults to adding enter after each scan.
