In insert mode, type the first couple of characters of a word, then press
Ctrl-N to insert the next matching word, or
Ctrl-P to insert the previous matching word.

The 'completeopt' option can control how completion occurs (for example, whether a menu is shown).

[edit] Comments

Even better is this script, that allows word completion by hitting the Tab key, the same you'd do on bash script#182.
