I have designed a simple form in Word that colleagues will be emailed, asked
to complete and return.

I would like to set some of the fields as mandatory i.e. - that they
wouldn't be permitted to move to the next field, or complete the form unelss
they had answered specific questions.

Is there a function to do this on Word?
Thank you in anticipation.

It can be done but requires macros. You have no control over whether users
will allow macros to run http://www.gmayor.com/formfieldmacros.htm
