Uninstalling and reinstalling packages under Linux usually does not make much
sense. If you work correctly (esp. not as root but as ordinary user) files
which are installed from the rpm will not be corrupted. ~/ is your home
directory where settings for your specific user account are stored, and this is
likely were the problem is.
Therefore open an xterm / console Window as ordinary user and type
mv .config/libreoffice .config/libreoffice_bak [enter].
You can also use some file manager and rename this directory, but sometimes
these try to be smart and protect you from yourself and don't do what you want.
This will move your personal settings of libreoffice to the directory
.config/libreoffice_bak and from libreoffice's point of view erase them. If you
start libreoffice now it will not detect any local adaptations and create a new
directory with the default settings.

About repos: I recommend to use the standard repos of the distribution (OSS and
non-OSS and the related update repos) and install the packages from there. They
are best fitting to the distribution. Add other repos only if you have very
specific needs and if you know what you are doing. Libreoffice should just work
out of the box with the standard repos. Mixings things from multiple
repositories is asking for trouble because you will likely get untested
combinations of packages.
Hope this helps.
