Right align page numbers in header when portrait or landscape

I have a long Word 2003 document that regularly changes from portrait to
landscape view and back (new section each time). I want to use the same
header (and footer) throughout the document, but want the automatic page
numbers to automatically align with the right margin in the header whether
the section orientation is landscape or portrait. This can be done manually
by moving the right-align tab for the page number at each section change, but
how can it be done automatically?

If you have nothing in the header except the page number, use paragraph
alignment (right) instead of the tab. If that's not feasible, then the next
best thing is to define two header styles, one for portrait, one for
landscape, with the tab stops set appropriately, and apply the appropriate
style to each header (will require unlinking, unfortunately).
