In Format / Document / Text option, I have unchecked the box (see red arrow) and it works.

Do you think I have to clear the symbols inside Text option ?

This is definitely a document property and can not. Be set in the Preferences which sets only session properties.

To have in each document, open your template document and set it there. Then you can import it (file > import > formats: document properties) into an selection of fdocuments in a book (for example). There is no method to import into - for example - all open documents. Only to the active document you can import.
