Answer 1

Use Pinnacle Studio
You can put images, text, sound amd interesting transition, tahtll be perfect for your job.

Answer 2

You can't actually *convert* text files into movie files.
However you can use a program that will allow you
create animated or static sequences, to which you can add your text by cutting and pasting ( CTRL +A - Select All, CTRL + C - Copy, CTRL + V - Paste ) from notepad or wordpad.

Software packages vary from Open Source ( No License Fees ), to Shareware/Commercial. See
if any of these links, help you on your way...

Should you wish to publish on the web as well, then any of the prorams that create Adobe Flash files,
would also work.

Hope that helps.
