Hello,
I have what seems to be a fairly simple question..
When I have one object right on top of another, how do I select both of them? When I draw a bounding box around them, that doesn't work. (See the picture: The "hello" is actually two hellos on top of one another. I want to select both, but not the red box]

I'm trying to follow the tutorial for creating punched out text, at:
http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Tricks_and_tips

I did some looking around and someone said to hold down shift and that didn't work.

thoughts?
thanks
a

Click once (selects top object)
Hold Shift key (to make multiple selection) and Alt key (selects next object down in z-order)
Click again (adds next object down in z-order to the selection)
Click as many more times as needed.
