I'm sorry for my first reply. It seems I was mistaken. I booted into 
windows and open a ms office word doc and it asked if I wanted to save 
during shut down. I did the same with open office document in Ubuntu 
9.04, and during shut down it asked if I wanted to save the doc.

Sorry for typing without checking.
Stephen.
