Is there a programme for use in W7 that will type commonly used words or
phrases by entering a short sequence of letters, numbers or keys?

For example, by typing mn and Alt it would insert my name in full.

Any advice appreciated.

You meant auto-complete (as in the address bar of most browsers)?

I googled "auto-complete everywhere" and found this link:

There are many such little apps, generally referred to as "Text
expansion utilities". I remember FastFox from
<http://www.nch.com.au/fastfox> But not sure if it is a total freeware,
and probably has a try out time restriction. Search for the above string
for many such free utilities.

AutoHotkey
AutoIt

Then there are wscript (already available in Windows) and powershell
which will probably do what you want provided you learn how to code with
them. The folks in the programming newsgroups would know better if they
can do what you want.
