Hello,
Does anyone know of a way to manually set the page numbers in a table
of contents? I'm not actually typing the rest of the document in
LaTeX. I'm not too picky about the document class needed. I can
manually generate a TOC with \addcontentsline{toc}{type}{text} but all
the page numbers are the same. Any ideas?

Use (eg) \setcounter{page}{42} before each \addcontentsline, and \clearpage after.

Hmm...that doesn't seem to work for me. If I use \setcounter before I
add each line and \clearpage after, then only the first TOC entry
appears. If I remove the \clearpage statement, then they all appear
but each entry has same page number (the last one that was entered).

I'm sorry, I was working in haste. With no text they are empty pages, so \clearpage won't do anything. This should do what you want:
\documentclass{report}
\newcommand{\chap}[2]{\refstepcounter{chapter}\setcounter{page}{#2}%
\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{\protect\numberline{\thechapter}#1}%
\null\clearpage}
\newcommand{\sect}[2]{\refstepcounter{section}\setcounter{page}{#2}%
\addcontentsline{toc}{section}{\protect\numberline{\thesection}#1}%
\null\clearpage}
\newcommand{\ssect}[2]{\setcounter{page}{#2}%
\addcontentsline{toc}{section}{#1}%
\null\clearpage}
\begin{document}
\tableofcontents
\ssect{Preface}{1}
\chap{Introduction}{13}
\sect{Background}{20}
\sect{Development}{33}
\sect{Plans}{42}
\chap{Research}{57}
\sect{Desk research}{62}
\sect{Internet research}{73}
\addtocontents{toc}{\bigskip}
\ssect{References}{85}
\ssect{Index}{91}
\end{document}
\newcommand{\chap}[2]{\refstepcounter{chapter}\setcounter{page}{#2}%
\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{\protect\numberline{\thechapter}#1}%
\null\clearpage}
\newcommand{\sect}[2]{\refstepcounter{section}\setcounter{page}{#2}%
\addcontentsline{toc}{section}{\protect\numberline{\thesection}#1}%
\null\clearpage}
\newcommand{\ssect}[2]{\setcounter{page}{#2}%
\addcontentsline{toc}{section}{#1}%
\null\clearpage}
\begin{document}
\tableofcontents
\ssect{Preface}{1}
\chap{Introduction}{13}
\sect{Background}{20}
\sect{Development}{33}
\sect{Plans}{42}
\chap{Research}{57}
\sect{Desk research}{62}
\sect{Internet research}{73}
\addtocontents{toc}{\bigskip}
\ssect{References}{85}
\ssect{Index}{91}
\end{document}

That should work great. Thanks for your help!
