I'm using spss 15.0 and need some help with sum score.

I'm planning to use factor analysis to get fewer variables in my dataset. I'm then planning to use "sum score by factor" to see how the variation in the original data in each factor is. I want to view this as a frequence histogram.

(My variables uses a likertscale with values from 1-4. And let's say that my factor consists of 5 variables. Then I want the values on the histogram to be from 5-20.)

How do I do this in SPSS?
