Heading 1 (H1) as the highest priority and Heading 9 (H9) as the lowest. Header formatting is like sorting the different things according to their priority.

Whether you started modifying a style from the Ribbon or the Styles window, the “Modify Style” window opens up, and the rest of the process is the same. Right-click any of them and then choose “Modify” to start customizing the style. The Styles window will now show all nine heading levels. In the Style Pane Options window that opens, open the “Select styles to show” drop-down, change it from “Recommended” to “All Styles,” and then hit “OK.”
