place in place not workink

Question

Why when I copy, then place in to - doesn't it do the job of placing in the same spot?

There is a difference bewteen 'Paste into' (which pastes contents inside another object') and 'Paste in Place' (which pastes on the same spot). So you need 'Paste in Place', or use the shortcuts Ctrl-Alt-shift-V (Windows) Cmnd-Option-Shift-V (Mac)

Hi @hendy_5450,

Thanks for reaching out! I tested the "Paste in Place" function in InDesign 20.1, and it works as expected on my end. The object pastes in the exact same position on the target page or spread.

Could you share which version of InDesign you are using and the details of your operating system? Also, would you mind sharing a screen recording demonstrating what is not working for you? This will help us understand the issue better.

If possible, please share a sample InDesign file where you're facing this issue, so we can test it on our side.

Looking forward to your response!
