Well, the documentation is, what, about 10,000 pages? The linked part
documentation is not the first place I would have looked. I would have
been looking with futility in the text tool book.
At some point, I think it is fair put some responsibility on the
software designers. If there is a property that hides or shows a text
object on a linked part, that property should be accessible in the
context menu (right click), as would be the case with any properly
designed Windows application.

Hi Craig,
You need to hide them in the parts while leaving them visible in the
score. This can be done from the score by first hiding them all, then
showing them again while holding down the override key. With Finale
2009's multi-page editing, it should (theoretically) be able to do
this all in one go.
Everyone hates to be told to RTFM, but seriously... you need to read
the chapter in the Finale documentation relating to linked parts for
details. It is essential reading for anyone working with linked parts.
It takes five minutes to read, and will explain everything you need to
know about working with linked parts.
Cheers,

The staff separators plug-in (on F2009) is great. I've always wanted
to do this. However I am having a problem that the separators are
also showing up on the linked parts. There are unwanted there, of
course. I see no way to prevent them from being added to the
individual parts.
Next best thing would be to make them unprintable. That is proving
to be a problem too. You can't go to the linked parts and just
delete them, because that deletes them from the score. I thought
about setting them to white text, but evidently Finale doesn't allow
me to change the font color. That seems like a really lame restriction.
I thought at one point, Finale had properties attached to text times
that would control whether or not a text item was printed. I can't
find anything like that now.
I tried dragging the separators off the bottom of the pages on each
of my linked parts. Even that doesn't work. When I turned the page
into a PDF using PDFCreator, it ended us scaling my page down enough
so that it could include those separator marks. D'oh
So what gives? There surely must be a way to deal with this.
