Sounds like the anchored frame is set for "Below current line".
Try changing it to "At insertion point" instead.  The anchor 
para, which is the "extra line", will then be behind it instead 
of above it.  Then you can further tweak the frame's vertical 
position with "Distance above baseline", which can be negative.

HTH!
