AFAIK, this can only be done with Report Studio. Steps:

1. Open your XML file with a text editor, i.e. Notepad.
2. Select the complete text in the text editor, right-click and select "Copy".
3. Open Report Studio, create a new empty report, and in the menu "Tools", select "Open report from clipboard".
4. Save your report.
5. Done!
