When I have done this, I've made the excerpts in Finale and used the
graphics tool to export them as TIFF or EPS. Then I do the page in
Word (or InDesign, etc.) and drop in the musical examples.

Well, I suppose if you take your formatted page and save it from Word
or InDesign as EPS, you could then just place the whole thing in
Finale with the Graphics tool. Personally, I've always just printed
those pages from the other app, even if it means printing out all of
the music from Finale and then feeding certain sheets back in to get
performances notes. Or you could print both your performances notes
and your music to PDF, and use Acrobat to assemble them into one document.
