Hold shift while using the Rectangular Marquee Tool.

Sounds like you're going to be using the same size selection over and over though. So, I would use a fixed size selection. There's a drop down on the tool options bar for the marquee tool labeled "Style:". Click it and select Fixed Size. Then put the dimensions of the square you want (200 pixels x 200 pixels or whatever) Now every time you click with the marquee tool it will be that size selection.

You can use the fixed size trick with shapes and any type of selections.

Hope that helped!
