Shortcut for inserting a table in Microsoft OneNote

This blog post is about a OneNote shortcut that I recently discovered by accident. I am writing a short post for this because I found it to be a handy way of inserting tables into a OneNote document.

To insert a row into the document press 'Space' and 'Tab' simultaneously. It looks as below.

Inserting a row

Further press 'Tab' to add additional columns to the existing row.

Adding columns to the row

You can turn this into a table by moving to the next line and then use the above procedure to insert another row. As soon as the number of columns in the second row are one less than the first row as below stop adding columns.

Adding a second row with lesser columns

Add the last column using 'Space' + 'Tab' rather than just 'Tab'. This will merge the two rows to make them a part of a single table as below.

You can explore and try some more things as per your need :) Hope it helped.
