Word 2013 won't put dotted leaders in tabbed list

I have a simple Word document with a bulleted list and one left tab for each line.

  • Objective:.................I need dotted leaders in the tab spaces.
  • To accompish this....I specify dotted leaders setting tabs.
  • PROBLEM:....Word 2013 does NOT insert dotted leaders.
  • Unsatisfactory workaround....typing the dots in by inserting periods.

Does anyone know the solution?
