Well, I don't know what's going on. The first two new files I entered
in 2007 printed incorrectly. I was able to get one of them to
eventually to print correctly but not the other. Now my newly-created
2007 files seem to be printing OK. That 8-part vocal score and parts
won't print right no matter what I do, but I'm probably done with that
anyway - we recorded it from the TIFs the day after I wrote it.
Sigh...
Thanks for all who offered advice.

Brand-new computer, and I had just installed 2007, and created some
new documents. When printing, after some initial mixing of correct
and miniature printing with no change of user input, I was getting
nothing but a square the size of a large postage stamp up in the top
left corner of the paper. I checked the paper sizes under "Page
Layout" "Page Setup" and "Print Setup," and everything else I could
think of. Cutting the DPI down from 600 to 300 made the postage
stamp twice as large (!) but still quite unusable.
Files I imported from Finale 98 and 2003 printed correctly, whether
or not I saved them first as 2007 files.
I thought that perhaps these old files reset something, because, on a
hunch, I tried one of my new files - a nearly blank test file with an
extracted part, and it printed correctly this time! But the original
problem file - an 8 voice vocal score and extracted parts - still
produces only the large postage stamps.
Thanks for any advice offered. In the meantime I'm going back to 2006.
If that's the only file which isn't printing properly, then you should
look into the various locations where the page sizes are determined
and also into the print options. I wonder if the units haven't gotten
changed from inches for that particular template or something.
Since other files print fine, it's obviously not a printer/driver
issue, nor is it a general Finale issue. It has to do with that
particular file.
