Find ^t Replace with (nothing). It's the same inside or outside a table.
 
Ah, but getting the tab _into_ the table cell in the first place was
quite a problem for the longest time!
 
CTRL+Tab doesn't take long?

That only works if you know what "secret words" the information hides
behind. Word used to come with a manual that told you what it could do
(and didn't mention what it couldn't do). "Online help" is almost
always utterly useless. Even if the information is included, it shows
you dozens of topics and expects you to read through each one to see
if buried somewhere in it is the nugget you're looking for. And then
it has the nerve to ask "Was this helpful? Yes, No, Somewhat" --
though it doesn't ask you what the question was that failed to be
answered.
 
I think you are being somewhat unfair. Had you not known to look under
'keyboard shortcuts', 'tab in table' would have given you the result also.
How secret is that?

Years ago I (somehow) came across a huge table of all(?) built-in
keyboard shortcuts (I've never found it again) and printed it out --
and that one isn't there. Maybe it's there under another name, but
that, as I said, is the problem.

No, that's far from the table I found long ago. The table is strictly
alphabetical by operation performed; when I finally found this one, it
was organized by topic, with no index of the topics, and scrolling
about 2/3 of the way down, I came to the tables section.
 
There are a lot of variations available of the Word keyboard shortcuts diagrams/'help'in varying formats :) and the Word online help
content and search drilldown does have room for improvement.

Word itself can build a document table of its commands in a document that can be sorted by menu, command name or keyboard sequence.

Tools=>macros=>macro
Select 'Word Commands' category
Select in the command list ListCommands, then click [Run]
