I don't see what the difference is between hitting tab in one program and hitting ctrl/tab in Legacy is. One thing to be aware of is that formatted text pasted into Legacy sometimes looks great -- until you close and re-open the note. Legacy shows -- initially -- Word formatting, for example, but strips it out on saving the note. On the other hand, whatever works for a user is what is important; if it's good, it's good.
If your output is html, you can build the table in your html editor, replace all < > with < >, and paste it in notes, it will format as a proper table in your web pages.

Saves using CTRL-Tab all the time. That's what I've been using TurboNote for. The result isn't perfect but much better both on screen and in Reports. I usually only have to adjust some of the first tab spaces and replace with spaces. I don't know about Web Pages as I haven't gone there.
