Hi Steve,
You can mark packets and export the marked packets to a text file.
right-click -> Mark Packet (toggle)
Edit -> Mark Packet (toggle)
File -> Export -> File...
Packet Range -> Marked packets or First to last marked
Packet Format -> Packet details -> All collapsed, As displayed or All expanded
Hope this helps a bit;-)
