The option you are looking for is only presented in the Anchored Frame properties dialog when it is relevant, and that depends on the current setting of the Anchoring Position property. When you use the At Insertion Point, Outside Column, or Outside Text Frame position, you will indeed see a Distance above Baseline property. If you are using the Below Current Line, At Top of Column, At Bottom of Column, or Run into Paragraph position, you will *not* see Distance above Baseline because that property is irrelevant or meaningless.

What anchoring position are you using? And how does the behavior you see vary from the behavior you desire?
