Mencicipi SoftMaker Office Linux




Linux telah sepenuhnya diakui sebagai sebuah sistem yang profesional. Hal tersebut terbukti dari semakin banyaknya vendor software developer yang merilis software mereka dalam versi Linux. Dan dari sekian vendor yang telah merilis versi Linux dari software mereka adalah SoftMaker, sebuah software office suite yang sangat mirip dengan Microsoft Office.


SoftMaker, sebagai software office suite—yang menurut klaim pengembangnya, sepenunya kompatibel dengan Microsoft Office, terdiri dari tiga jenis suite : yaitu PlanMaker, sebagai ekuivalensi dari Microsoft Excel atau Spreadsheet; SoftMaker Presentations, sebagai ekuivalensi dari Microsoft PowerPoint atau Impress; dan TextMaker, sebagai ekuivalensi dari Microsoft Word atau Word Processor.


Secara umum, interface dari SotfMaker Office identik dengan interface Microsoft Office 2003, atau OpenOffice.org. Namun ternyata, tombol-tombol shortcut dari Microsoft Office memang sepenuhnya berfungsi, yang meliputi antara lain :


  1. Tombol Ctrl+1, untuk spasi antar baris 1 spasi.

  2. Tombol Ctrl+5, untuk spasi antar baris 1,5 spasi.

  3. Tombol Ctrl+2, untuk spasi antar baris 2 spasi.

  4. Tombol Shift+F3, untuk mengubah jenis huruf menjadi kapital atau kecil secara masif.


Yang cukup menarik, memang, SoftMaker juga mendukung berbagai format dokumen office, termasuk format dokumen dari dua office suite paling populer saat ini, yaitu docx milik Microsoft Office, dan odt milik OpenOffice.org.


Di situs resminya, software ini dijual dengan harga sekitar Rp. 600Ribu-an, dan saat ini telah tersedia versi SoftMaker 2010. Yang lebih menarik, SoftMaker juga merilis versi demo untuk Linux, dengan masa aktif 30 hari. Format paket instalasi juga tersedia dalam tiga format paket Linux paling populer : RPM, DEB dan Tarbal. Bagi profesional user, software ini cukup menarik untuk jadi pengganti Microsoft Office. Untuk saya sendiri, tetaplah setia dengan OpenOffice.org :D

Q4OS 4.6 "Gemini" Review: A Real Hidden Gem

Distro hopping is a fun adventure. It's a pure joy you can only find in GNU/Linux world. It's a nature you want to escape from what I call 'comfort ecosystem'. You need to play, trying something new even for a few little differences. For a long time I've been using Ubuntu family as my daily driver. The main reason is probably just same as any other Ubuntu user: it's reliable. You can't go wrong with Ubuntu. It works almost in any device, even for the newest one. It is the ultimate Linux distro you can rely on. However, sometimes, you will feel bored. The temptation to flirt with other new distro is unbearable. There are a lot of hot new Linux distros waiting to try.  A Real Hidden Gem I've known this distro for a quite long time. At first, it offered Trinity Desktop as the main desktop, which brings me the sweet memories about KDE3. It is simply fast, stable, almost without any issue, and it is based on Debian. I install it on my old machine and I love t...

Howto Connect To Windows Share Network (Connect To Server) Easily in PCManFM

In Nautilus 3.4, Nemo, or Caja, there is a very useful menu called "Connect to Server". This menu allow us to connect to a Windows Share network via Samba.
