OneNote: Insert tab instead of a table

In OneNote, normally if you press the TAB key then it creates a table. If you want a tab instead of a table there is a little tricl.

Create an Auto-correct rule that turns your chosen character sequence (e.g. "\t") into a regular TAB:

• Open Notepad and type one TAB. Select it and copy it.
• Go to OneNote and click File -> Options -> Proofing -> AutoCorrect Options
• In the dialog, put your desired sequence of characters (e.g. \t into the Replace: field.
• Paste the TAB that you copied from Notepad into the With: filed. Click Add.

-> Now, any \t followed by a SPACE will be replaced by a regular TAB.
