I'm going to duplicate some of what Daiya has said but concentrate on the
main points:

1. Different Odd and Even is a per-document setting, but that doesn't mean
that the odd and even headers can't be the same. If all you want in the
headers in your main document section is a page number, so be it. Put the
page number in the Odd Header and in the Even Header. When you get to the
appendix section, unlink both the Odd Header and the Even Header from the
previous section so that you can have different content in the appendix
headers.

2. I'm still not 100% clear whether "Appendix A" and "Drawing Requirements"
are two separate paragraphs in two separate styles (the simplest case to
deal with) or a single paragraph with "Appendix A,B,C" numbering and a line
break after the number. Let's for the moment assume that they are two
separate styles (which I believe you have previously implied). For purposes
of illustration, let's call the respective styles Appendix Number and
Appendix Title. So this is what you would have:

    a. On the first page of each appendix (with an *empty* First Page
Header):
        ]Appendix Number[
        ]Appendix Title[

        (where ] [ indicates centering

    b. In the Even Page Header: { STYLEREF "Appendix Number" }

    c. In the Odd Page Header: { STYLEREF "Appendix Title" }

When you get to Appendix B, you do not change anything! All you do is insert
a Next Page section break and let the StyleRef fields pick up your new
Appendix Number and Appendix Title. And so on for any subsequent appendixes.

The easy way to insert the StyleRef fields is to do Insert | Field: StyleRef
and pick your style from the list Word will provide of the styles in use.
