If I am in the middle of a line of text and want to tab over before I type
more text (for formatting purposes) OneNote automatically creates a table.
This feature is infuriating to me and I cannot figure out how to turn it off.

You might find the table format with no borders in OneNote a cleaner and more
predictable formatter for this kind of information/text display than the old
typewriter version of Tab. Lining up things is not a good fit for OneNote, as
it s not designed to make formatted documents. It's not aimed at being a
light-duty version of Word.

Just a thought.

Ugh, this is *so* not a feature at all.

I've created a pie chart to demonstrate how much I wish to use tabbing for tables/spreadsheets in my notes. The fact I can't disable this "feature" is FRUSTRATING.
