Modifying the Header (or Footer) paragraph style would work, of course, assuming
that one wants to change the entire header (footer) content.
As far as the Page Number character style is concerned, I'm not sure it would
work after you have manually added the PAGE field, but I have to admit I haven't
tested it.
