Whenever I try and access any document in Word, I get the following

even means. Similarly with the Microsoft knowledge page, there's
nothing that will help. Anybody know how to get rid of the message or
even which has to be reinstalled - XP, Norton?

It sounds like your NAV might be a tad broken. Hope it is still working to protect your computer. When the subscription expires, I don't recommend you upgrade to NAV 2007 but rather suggest you use a better and less bloated/invasive antivirus. Recommended programs are Kaspersky, NOD32, Avast, and I use F-Prot 6 on my Windows machines.

In the meantime as a workaround, open NAV and disable the MS Office plugin. That option is somewhere in NAV's preferences.
