In one number in my score, the margins of the embedded parts are set to 3/4" and I want to make all the parts margins 1/2"
I can change the margins in Document/Page Format/Parts but even regenerating the parts does not change the margins, although it will change the scaling factor. Page layout/Edit system margins does nothing. Nor does Page Layout /Redefine Pages/All.
What am I missing?

Any of the 3 steps you've mentioned should work. It might be a good idea to post a short Finale file so we can take a look. 3 or 4 score pages, you can delete all of the notation.

This works for me in F 2014.5 Windows 8.1:

in Page View go to the first part
Page Layout Tool > Page Layout > Page Margins > Edit Page Margins
change the margins to what you want
check All Pages
Apply to Parts/Score > Check All + de-select Score
OK
exit this menu

do NOT click on Apply on the remaining menu afterwards,
this will for some reason also change the margins on the score
(no idea why)
exit this menu via x
