There are a few copy functions available already, but these are mostly
bound to little bits of information (like one row in the packet list or
one row, field, value in the detail pane). It would be great to be able
to have more copy functions and our suggestion to copy the contents of a
particular pane in the way that it is shown on the screen would be very
handy indeed...

The way I do this for reporting is to use screenshots, which works fine
for me so far...

The first step towards those efforts would be to either file an
enhancement request on https://bugs.wireshark.org or develop this
functionality yourself and put it up for inclusion in the sources...

Cheers,
