I opened a FH doc in AICS3 and found that many of my colors have shifted.
Any ideas how to stop this from happening? I wonder if there's something I
can do to the FH doc before I open it in AICS3.

Color values will change if you let Illustrator convert colors into some color profile. If you just assign a profile the will be no change.

So if the values are the same it is probably the difference in color management.

Tha basic idea of color managemet is NOT having to adjust colors manually in a document by program or device.

The colors were actually changing their numeric CMYK values dramatically. I
just figured out why. Some of my FH colors were lighter tints of the "main"
color. The conversion didn't take the tint in to account. I used FH's "Name
All Colors" command, then it converted fine.
