Aegisub is for subtitle editing. And no, I wouldn't recommend opening the video itself in there (it is a .wmv file or .avi file, right? Not a .wmm project file?) - Aegisub can open .wav files, which is all that should be necessary to time correctly. Just look at the waveform while it's playing, and jot down the right timecodes for when the lyrics start/end, then use those when entering the subs. If you have to have video, use AviSynth to serve it in - Aegisub internally uses AviSynth, I believe, and it may require it to have been installed already.
After editing is finished (including any styling you want to do), save the .ass file and overlay it onto the video using AviSynth (the particular command is TextSub(), which is contained in VSFilter.dll - if you installed the CCCP, I'm fairly sure that you should have VSFilter in system32; just copy it to AviSynth's plugins folder).
Using WMM's titler is going to be far more cumbersome to use than that, and a lot worse looking. Aegisub allows for intricate control over how the subs look and behave.
If it's simply a titlecard/bumper stating stuff like the editor, music/anime, and so on, then you can make those in practically any image editing program, from Photoshop or The GIMP all the way down to MS Paint. Save as a .bmp and then import into WMM. Once again, those methods give you a lot more control over how it looks.
If the text in other cases is of the 'random' variety, that just pops up for a second and then leaves, then you will probably be best off with WMM's titler, as I doubt WMM can properly handle transparent PNG or PSD (although anyone, feel free to correct me if I'm wrong).
