How can I stop Finale from changing my desired C#/E# to the unwanted C#/F?

I'm very new to Finale. My instructor is giving us an exercise with a song in key of A which I'm successfully showing three sharps in the key signature. I'm trying to input chord symbols and the instructor wanted us to show a C#/E# but Finale keeps switching it to C#/F. I know E# and F are enharmonically the same, but I want to show it the way our instructor gave us, NOT the way Finale wants to show it.

Thanks for any help here.

Enter your bass note as D###.

Or uncheck Simplify Spelling in the Chord menu.

However, de-selecting Simplify Spelling is not the solution if you use Capo Chords in this particular document.
Instead, the solution with D### will work with Capo Chords.

Thank you! The D### worked perfectly.
