How do you enter control variables into SPSS for a Multiple Regression?

Question

Hi,

I am doing an Enter method multiple regression and have a few control variables (age, gender, whether or not they have a chronic condition, etc).

Does anyone know how to do this? If so, can you explain it as simply as possible!

Any help would be really appreciated as I am really stuck on my dissertation statistics!

Thank you.
