Has NAV ever been installed - maybe as a free OEM trial install on the new
computer? Here's Office MVP Beth Melton's answer if that is the case:

Norton CE does not have the Office Plug-in option however if Norton AV was
installed on the computer and then later Norton CE was installed then the
Office Plug-in DLL could still be registered. I found this to be the case
when an OEM version of Norton was preinstalled.

First search your local drive for: officeav.dll

If you find it then go to Start/Run and run the following command:

regsvr32 /u "<path>\officeav.dll"

Here is a KB article that provides a few additional details. As on the
Symantec site, it does not include information on Norton CE but it will
contain additional details on the unregister command if you need them:
