Try rpm -qa | egrep -y office and see if anything shows up. If you see it in there, you can do an rpm -ql <package> to get a listing of files. If you don't see it in there, but want to see if it is actually installed on your system, do an rpm -qlp <rpm-file> to see what files where the files should be installed on your system, and then look there. As to syncing the rpm data-base, you can always force an install using the --force option. After that you probably could remove it. Do a man rpm, or rpm --help and look at rebuild options also.
