It's actually quite easy to create an inline HTML TOC for Kindle books with Sigil assuming that you used heading styles in Word/LibreOffice to mark chapter headings before you saved the Word .doc file as an .html file.

Simply press CTRL+T in Sigil, select the headings that you want to include in the TOC and press OK. Then select Tools > Table of Contents > Create HTML Table Of Contents and you're done.

It no headings are shown in the TOC editor, you'll have to highlight each chapter heading and click h3 (or another heading size) on the toolbar to mark it for inclusion in the TOC.
