o  Drag the cursor to form an empty rectangle over the objects.  It 
will shrink to contain just your objects.
o  With the eight green handles still showing, go to File | 
Export..., select your required format, and tick Selection at the 
foot of the Export dialogue.

If you want extra white space around the objects, you could add extra 
objects.  The simplest way is probably to add small objects at 
opposite corners of the rectangle you want to save and then make 
these invisible or white.  Drag a rectangle to include these and 
proceed as above.

I trust this helps.
