Ok, I then uncheck the Do Not Add TOC to book or Force use of autogenerated TOC, and though it didn't produce one, I was unable to find a link to my TOC through the kindle menu.
What I want is, how can I link to a particular location in my document and make that location as the start of my TOC.
Like when using Mobipocket creator, I can simply add guide item and link to any location through a bookmark.
Thank you.

I don't know of any way to do what you want, medwatt, without doing some manual editing of the XML/XHTML files used to create the EPUB and MOBI files. I was hoping someone might come up with a suggestion that didn't involve that, but it looks like it isn't currently possible.
One possible route might be:
- Create a bookmark at the start of your inline TOC (could do that in Word before creating the EPUB version).
- Use Calibre's "tweak epub" facility to open up the EPUB and edit the OPF file (using a plain text editor), and add a Guide item of type "toc" to point to that bookmark. E.g.:
Code:
<guide>
<reference type="toc" title="Table of Contents" href="filename.html#bookmark"/>
</guide>
- Save and reform the EPUB file.
- Convert to MOBI format.
I haven't tested this, so I don't know what issues it might throw up, but it might be worth trying.
