In Excel 2003 or older:
- Go to the TOOLS menu
- Select "Options"
- Select the "Edit" Tab
- Check "Move selection after Enter"
- Choose the direction
- Click OK

In Excel 2007:
- Click on the Office Button (big circle in upper-left)
- Click on the "Excel Options" button
- Select "Advanced" option on the left
- Check "After pressing Enter, move selection"
- Choose the direction
- Click OK
