I agree that this should be done in a Wordprocessor or Layout app. However, there are situations where it is more convenient to still keep it in the Finale file. Especially if you, like me, have everything set up so that printing out a score is simply a click away (I have a large format laser, and I just have to print both sides and staple, the idea of having to print one page from Word would make the whole thing impossible). There are two ways to do this. One way is to create an EPS file of the table-of-contents-page in word, and insert this in Finale (using the graphic tool). You will have to keep the EPS file with your Finale file (the graphic does not get embedded in the Finale file, Finale merely keeps a reference to the EPS). I have done this many times. However, this only works if you have a PS printer. If you do, then this is a really good way to do it. If you haven't got a PS printer, you could do the same by creating a hi-res TIFF (not sure whether you can do this from Word, but I am sure you can with some TIFF-printer). However, this means you will not have the best quality for printing, and it also will take ages to print. Alternatively, use the EPS way and create a PDF from Finale. This PDF should print in high quality on any printer (from Acroabat or Reader, or Preview).
