Hello Paul, To check on any dynamic text that's inaccessible to VoiceOver in Pages, create a shortcut for the Services menu option for "New TextEdit Window Containing Selection", and the hidden text will show up in TextEdit.
As for having VoiceOver tell you when there is a style change, this is not currently possible. However, you can check on the style by setting hotspots on the style tables and using the "Describe item at hotspot" commands.
