Edit and run

Problem is the acronyms in the report are used throughout, but not surrounded in the standard latex way. It requires \ac{} around the acronyms.

This code does not check for acronym conflicts, so it can cause problems. Only caused minor problems though, which are now fixed, so everything is pretty much fine.
