This link only provides the tar.gz, no rpm's.
Why can't you install it from that?

as regular user

If you're dead set on having an RPM, you might procure checkinstall:
$ yum install checkinstall
then
$ tar -xzf OOo_1.1.1_LinuxIntel_install.tar.gz $ cd OOo_1.1.1_LinuxIntel_install
as root
$ checkinstall ./install
Follow the OpenOffice install directions as well as the Checkinstall directions, and you'll end up with OpenOffice installed, in the RPM database, and a separate RPM in case you want to distribute to other machines.
