When you define the Styles, save them to NORMAL.DOT template. There is an option on the Modify Style dialog to save the changes to NORMAL

The easiest thing is to later copy the NORMAL.DOT to the new "blank" computers so they have the same setup.

    Thank you for your help.

    The problem is that I want to use this function on a blank computer. How to set this function on a word document that I open on any computer including a blank computer that is to say on a formatted computer?

    Regards

    No problem, I have similar setup.

    First define heading styles with the appropriate numbering scheme. Then assign shortcut keys to the styles. As you are making the changes to the styles, make sure to turn on the option to "Add to Template" (save to NORMAL).  This will automatically enable the style in all new documents.

    However, i would suggest other keys since those are commonly used functions. I use <CTL><SHF><1>  and so on. Those are less commonly used shortcuts.
