Some thoughts.

You could use an XML editor (though ID in theory could also do this) and write an XSLT that would strip the non-relevant data and convert to a TAB delemited txt file and merge it into a table, then autoflow the table.

You could use one of the on-line or desktop applications that will convert the XML to a CSV or tab delimited text file and merge it into a table, then autoflow the table.

There is a script to do this merge to a table available. The results would be like this:

Here’s a ZIP with the data merge template, the script I mentioned and the resulting merge file.
