were shapes for the suits. Are there any?


You don't need specific Visio shapes, you can use any image as a shape, any GIF, BMP etc
type file can be imported via menu Insert - Picture - From File.
The 4 suites can also be found within the unicode character set, characeters $2660, $2663
$2665 and $2666
If you put one of these characters into any shape, then with the appropriate sized font ..
do this with menu Insert - Symbol (while in text edit mode). (or you could use my Diacrit
program).
