Marie, sometimes norm(E) can have a range quite a bit larger than 0-1, especially when dealing with L-edge spectra with strong white lines. Remember, normalization only sets the post-edge data (in the energy range where your post-edge normalization polynom is defined) to average around 1. As usual, it would be good if you could send a (small) project file or screen shot visualizing the problem. It's hard to guess if there's anything wrong with your data without seeing it...

*Is there a way through which I can control that my norm(E) only has a range from 0-1? Right now, some of my scans go from 0 - 3 after having normalized them. It seems that most people publish their data only ranging from 0-1..? . Is there a difference between the two?*
