Default Form fields - can you make them mandatory

I'm creating a new .dot template for a form. I have inserted various different fields - a mix of pick lists, free text and check boxes.

Is there a way to make completion of certain fields mandatory? Ideally I'd like the form not to be saved unless some fields are completed.
