# Enable automatic style updating, but do not attach a template document.
doc.automatically_update_styles = True

self.assertEqual("", doc.attached_template)

# Since there is no template document, the document had nowhere to track style changes.
# Use a SaveOptions object to automatically set a template
# if a document that we are saving does not have one.
