Many thanks to Aaron and Christopher for their replies to my question.
I forgot to mention that I was working from a Finale Default file
that I created while using 2K4c. Does this change anything with
regard to making parts with instrument labels the default behavior
now that I am using 2K7? My default file has no notation in it...it
is just an empty score.

When I extract parts in 2K7, I do not see the staff name on the
extracted part.
For example: Trumpet 1 in Bb
Christopher Smith gave you some answers having to do with linked
parts, which were introduced in 2007. If you want to go the
old-fashioned Extract Parts route, Finale will still generate linked
parts automatically behind the scenes; an extracted part is just a
linked part snapshot split out into its own file.
If you go through the Extract Parts dialog and you only see Score
listed, you first need to click the Generate Parts button to get
Finale to create the linked parts. You can then check off the parts
you want and extract.
Now, to get back to your original question about part names. What
you will need to do is first generate the linked parts. Then go to
page view in your score and add a text box. In this text box, put in
the text insert that says "Part/Score Name". Now you want to make
sure that this text box is hidden in the score (because a box that
says "Score" isn't helpful) but displays in the parts. On Windows, I
would hold down the Ctrl key, right click on the text box, and
choose Hide. I don't know what the Mac equivalents are to Ctrl and
right-clicking. The text box will now appear a light orange in the
score (meaning unlinked and hidden) and regular orange in the part
(meaning unlinked and showing).
If you create a new score through the setup, this should be taken
care of for you automatically, since the default files that come
with 2007 include this text box.
Aaron.
