Another approach I've taken in the past to creating TOCs the manual way, is to insert a 2-3 column table.

The 1st column would be the heading of the section (e.g. Chapter 1).

If using 3 columns, the 2nd one would be a line of periods (e.g. ....................).

The 3rd would be the page number.

You can adjust the widths of the columns easily enough just by dragging the column borders left or right. Just choose not to show any gridlines on the table and when you print the doc, no one will be able to tell you used a table.
