tab-complete a word in a latex file in emacs?

Isn't there a way to do it (except, you probably need to do M-TAB rather
than just TAB)?  I believe you can do that in C mode, so there must be a
fairly simple .emacs chunk to load a dictionary into it to try it in
other modes instead of the C definitions it's parsed out.
