If you open the tag list, select it all, copy, open excel or it's open office equivilent, paste, and you will have your tag data on the spreadsheet. Then you manipulate the columns to get rid of the stuff you dont need and format the stuff you do need to suit wonderware. You can even move columns around. Spreadsheets lend themselves to manipulating this sort of data. When you have the data in the right format save as a .csv ready for import into wonderware. Do a small section to start with, you will get the idea, and then when you are happy with the results do the whole tag list. It's actually quite easy! There may be other ways of doing this task......
