Everything about Taste (software)
Macintosh word processor
Taste is a Macintosh word processor that combined a number of basic features from page layout software—just a "taste" of it—to build a unique solution to preparing documents. Taste was originally offered by DeltaPoint, the publishers of the famed MindWrite, but was eventually spun off to a third party before finally disappearing. Taste works with Mac OS 9, but not macOS, and has not been available for purchase for several years. In many ways Apple's recent Pages application shares the basic "idea" of Taste, combining word processing with page layout. Wikipedia →
