text area stretching plus static text

I'm brand spanking new to Java, Jasper and iReport and am working under a deadline, please pardon my horrible use of terminology.

 

I work at a university and we're posting jobs all the time. I have report that details a job vacancy. Working out of a MySQL db, the text coming in to a couple of fields is a BLOB and can be 1 sentence or a novella. What I'm trying to do is label that field with a heading of "DUTIES". The BLOB text field below is called "QUALIFICATIONS" with a respective label. I've found the "Stretch with overflow" check box in the text field properties which is getting me close. When the "DUTIES" text field stretches beyond the region I've visually set up for it, I want the top of "QUALIFICATIONS" and it's respective label to move down. I want that detail band to expand to accommodate the label and the text field.

 

Please see the attached image, it lays it out pretty well.

 

It's a really cool tool, I'm looking forward to becoming more proficient with it... this surface scratching is boring!
