Hi Melissa,
You will need to set the FMS radius, which is blank at this point as seen in your screenshot. You should also set the SCF radius which is also blank. I would start with
FMS 7.0
and 
SCF 5.0
and you can make them larger to check convergence. Another thing that is a bit strange in your calculation are the options after the XANES card. I would start by leaving these blank, so that the default energy grid is used.

I am new to FEFF and I have a small problem.  I'm trying to produce a XANES
spectra of Cu (from the examples).  I cannot seem to obtain the pre-edge
region in my result.  I have attached a screen shot.  Could you tell me how
to calculate the area before E0, i.e. from -50 to 50 eV.

Thanks
Sincerely
