Click and drag can be tricky, if not impossible all by itself, yet you should still be able to press and hold Shift and deselect individual objects, so select too many then deselect as needed.
This is also a reason to consider using layers, where for example, you could have all graphics on one layer, and text on another, so that you avoid selecting some kinds of things. It's also worth mentioning that 1.3.5+ has an advanced selection capability, which you might find of use in future. Greg
