how do i stop warnings window from coming up .. i do not care about fonts and numbers inability to convert exell files

You will have to continue to dismiss the warnings. I don't know of any preference that you can invoke to not get the warnings.

Save the excel doc as a Numbers doc. This will stop the warnings. If you need to share that with a Windows/Excel user at some point in the future, Export a copy as an Excel workbook.

Your choices are:

Let the Warnings window open with every Excel file that generates a warning, then dismiss that window by clicking the red Close gumdrop,

OR
Uncheck the box in the Warnings window that's labeled "Show this window when warnings occur," then press esc, or click the Don't show button when the drop down tab appears with the message "Some warnings occurred..."

Many od the warnings are that a certain font in not available. Those can be avoided entirely by installing the font.
