rapidly creating Zenon functions using import/export

rapidly creating Zenon functions using import/export

I have 100's of functions I need to create for ramping up and down from button presses.
This is very tedious and time consuming.
With other Scada packages I've used, I've done all this work in spreadsheet. I can open the variables/functions in Excel. As each function will be listed row by row, I can easily search and replace to rapidly create multiple functions, and copy paste in rows. Zenon used XML as import/export. I have installed the 2 XML editors that were included on the Zenon disk but because XML has more structure and some fields are listed on all on the same line, it is not easy to rapidly create these variables using search/replace or copy and paste.
What is the easiest way to rapidly create functions without the slow process of doing this in the Zenon environment?
Thanks
Matt
