When you open a file with an error condition, FM should display a dialog box informing you of the problem. For instance, if the file contains unresolved cross-references, a dialog tells you so and directs you to the manual/help for information on locating them. If the file uses unavailable fonts, FM tells you so and asks if you want to reformat it using available fonts. 

If you're not seeing any such error reporting dialogs when you open the files, I'm not sure what's going on. I know you can suppress them programmatically (e.g., via FrameScript), but I didn't think there was any way to turn them off for manual file opening via the interface.
