How difficult is it to create a gif file?

[R8R]

IN THE PAST I HAD THE PRIVLAGE OF HAVING THESE GIF FILES (MY SIGNATURE) CREATED BY THE BOY PORQUE BUT ID LIKE TO DO THEM MYSELF SO I DONT HAVE TO BOTHER HIM WITH IT. CAN I CREATE THEM THROUGH WORD OR POWERPOINT OR IS THERE A DIF. PROGRAM I NEED?

I use flash and creating simple animations may be intimidating but it's really simple.
