Emacs or Vim - how close to a word processor can it get?

[gena@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (Georgina Joyce)]

Hi Folks,

I'd like to use an auto complete type facility within emacs or Vim and wondered if experienced users could offer any pointers?

For example I'd like the following expansions:

Uniclan expanded to; University of Central Lancashire
Co2402 expanded to; co2402 Advanced Programming with C++

And so on.  I hope you get the idea.

Would this be a macro of some kind?

Thanks

Gena
