I tried to use the LaTeX radio tables that I included in a file that I
set up a year ago.
When point was in the first cell of the table, C-c C-c gave
C-c C-c can do nothing useful at this location.
I copied the LaTeX radio table (section A.6.2) from the manual into a
scratch.org file, put the point in the first cell, C-c C-c 'd with the
same result.
Out of curiosity I changed one of the "Days" number for January, C-c
C-c'd the TBLFM: and again the same message.
Is there a bug or what am I missing in the manual?

You need to turn on orgtbl-mode as a minor mode:
M-x orgtbl-mode
But putting the example in an org document misses the point I think: the
idea is that you have a *LaTeX document* (not an org one), but you want
to be able to create a table using org syntax and to then automatically
create the LaTeX table from the org table. So you add the code into your
LaTeX document, turn on orgtbl-mode as a minor mode and then press C-c
C-c on the ORGTBL: SEND line which turns the org table into a LaTeX
table and inserts it at the spot specified with the BEGIN/END RECEIVE
ORGTBL stufff.

Thanks. I obviously forgot the procedure. I used org mode for the
entire file. When it came time to use the radio tables I would M-x
tex-mode and then M-x orgtbl-mode and proceeded from there.
