Darcy, FWIW, I too run into this bug reasonably recently. I have no idea why it happens, but basically it seems to be as you say, that changing a text block and (1) change all similar text blocks in all open documents (e.g. open parts extracted from the same file), or (2) changing the staff name headers to what was in the text block. Finale 2002b on Mac OS 9.2. No solutions that I'm aware of, sorry to say, but at least someone out here is sympathising with you.
