Color questions

I have two cmyk images that I copied into Framemaker 7.2 on the PC. They are both made by Makita. Makita's color is a teal/aqua color. One image looks teal/aqua in color like it should, however, the other image looks blue/green like the coral reefs in the Caribbean. In photoshop the images are not

Table heading rows

How do you convert a table row into a table heading row? In the top row of my table, when I highlight the row, it says Body cells, instead of Heading cells like the top rows in other tables. How do I convert the row, or how do I add a heading row above it. It's probably a really simple answer
