I'm writing my first piece on finale and when I go to look at the individual parts, the staff size changes about halfway through each part (and in a different spot on every one of them). Everything looks normal on the score, though. Does anyone know why this is happening and how I can make it so that the staff remains the same size on each of my part?
I tried using the resize tool and that didn't work, although I may be using it incorrectly...

My first guess is that you have not set the default formatting for new {systems / pages} as you need the formatting to be.
When creating new {systems / pages}, Finale uses the default settings:
Document menu > Page Format > Parts…
Change the default settings to what you need.
NB:
Changing the default formatting for new {systems / pages} does not affect already existing {systems / pages}.
To update the already existing {systems / pages} with the new settings:
- You must be viewing the relevant part (Document menu > Edit Part > …) when doing the following:
Page Layout Tool.
Page Layout menu > Redefine Pages > …
Alternatively you can also generate linked parts again, but generating parts will erase the layout work you already have done in the linked parts.
