No, unfortunately there is not support for cut-and-paste directly from Ethereal. You can print to a text-file and then open the text file in a text editor. I'm using that method when I want to include some part of a frame or similar in a mail or a document. You can do that with the menu item "File/Print ...". Then use e.g. "Format: (x) Plain Text / Print to: (x) File / (x) Print detail / (x) Expand all levels / (x) Print hex data" settings in the dialog box. If you just want to print only some of the frames you can specify a display filter in the bottom of the Ethereal window before using "File/Print...". For example if you want to print frame 4 to 6 you could use a filter such as "(frame.number >= 4) and (frame.number <= 6)" or if you wan to print all frames with snmp packets in you could use a display filter "snmp". An other alternative could be to use "Edit/Mark Frame" and then select "(x) Supress unmarked frames" in the "Edit/Print.." dialog box. There is also a "File/Print Packet" that can be even better if you want to just get a copy of a specific frame into a file. I have defined in "Edit/Preferences.../Printing" the following settings "Format: Plain text, Print to: File," and then I have put the filename of a file "ethereal_out.txt" that is located on my Windows Desktop (e.g. "C:\windows\desktop\Ehereal_out.txt" if I'm using Windows 98). This makes it very simple to just select a frame and then use "File/Print Packet" and then open the Ehereal_out.txt file with WordPad or similar and then cut and paste the whole frame or some part of it into a mail or similar.
