Oh, wait, I forgot one (actually not a bad option at all):
4) Enter the chord as:
C --- Bb
Then, on the same beat, enter just the chord suffix (the "7"), and drag it into position.
That's probably the best solution outside of buying the Bill Duncan font (which I actually highly recommend.)

Okay, there have been some confused responses here. What Roger wants to do is create a compound chord, also known as a polychord. Compound chords are extremely common in jazz, but Finale doesn't directly support them, which has been a longstanding source of frustration for jazz musicians using Finale.
Roger, your options are:
1) Enter two separate chords on the same beat -- "C" and "Bb7" -- manually drag the "C" up, and draw a horizontal line between them. (There many options for this -- if you're not picky about the appearance, probably the easiest thing is to just use a smart shape line).
2) Rewrite the chord as "Bb13(#11)".
3) Buy Bill Duncan's Chord Symbol font, which adds support for compound chords.
