Another TOC method for ebooks

I've been converting a 300 page book from Word for Mac into ePub.
For the Table of Contents for Word for Mac, (or use hyperlinks function for any other program) try using hyperlink to a bookmark to jump to each chapter. This would be from your regular typewritten TOC in the original text, not some new generated TOC using the Header setting. The usual Headings method that is shown for Word works, but the result is a clunky looking TOC placed into the ebook,(which I suppose then needs HTML work to spruce up.) It looks to me as if the hyperlink to the bookmarks will work fine.
First place bookmarks on each chapter title page (For Word use Insert,Bookmarks on top left corner on your computer) After that, highlight the chapter name in the regular TOC and hyperlink it to the chapter bookmark. (For Word, Insert,Hyperlink,This Document,Bookmarks arrow, find bookmark and highlight and hit OK.) The reader will see the link in the your regular TOC.
Has anyone else tried this?
