I also never found out, so I use this workaround:
Before copying, I launch transform tool (CTRL+T) and write down the position of the object from the toolbar. After pasting, I move it to the same position with the transform tool by entering the values. Seems a bit zig-zag, but works and doesn’t take too long.

‘Paste Into’ – SHIFT+CTRL+V
cool, but i am sure there is a way of doing it
however with shift+control+V be careful if you have a selection border (marching ants) on…Paste Into will paste your object into the selection instead of pasting it in place….however this can be extremely helpful for pasting one image inside another
pasting santa in the ipod comes to mind
….or a nice new sky. I always keep a few skies handy to brighten up a grey day. 🙂
Another good use is pasting into outline text.

or putting a favorite missing toy with santa for a visit until it’s found! 🙂
Ok!!!
Dave you truly are a god!!! I never even thought of that one…I’ll be using that one in the near future!
(although last year for the adults I had a 24 inch shot of santa printed where he looked like he was trapped in the gas fireplace…
To paste in place, this is what I’ve always done. Never had a problem with it.
1. Make a selection on a layer. The only rule is that none of the marching ants can be over a transparent area.
2. Copy.
3. Paste. A new layer is created, and what you copied is placed in that new layer in the exact same place it was before. If, however, any of the marching ants included a transparent area, then the object pasted will center itself within the selection.

lol christine! 🙂
sure saved my bacon. she was tickled!
on christmas day we put the pic in her stocking and had santa write something like:
"Dear Monica, thanks for letting Puppy visit. The elves had a great time making new puppies for kids all over the world. Puppy’s going to be famous!
Love Santa"
Ostensibly, pasting in place is exactly the same as Paste Into – you have to select what you’re copying, pasting it in without deselecting is functionally, paste in place.
Scott…
A way to simply your method…make selection, Control + J (or Layer>New>Layer via Copy
If you want to cut something out of a background Shift + Control +J (or Layer >New Layer >Layer via Cut
Christine… That’s true. I was describing the long way for demonstration purposes. Hopefully to explain why something might not stay in the same place when pasted.
