According to the LibreOffice website as of Feb 24 2018, there is a LibreOffice version 6.0.2. The Ubuntu Software Center installs 5.1.6.2 (that is 1 and a half years old) on my machine. How do I get a more recent version installed? (I am not very proficient with unpacking .tar.gz files). When will the software center get newer versions?

LO 5.1.6 (2 years old) usually means you are using Ubuntu 16.04 (also 2 years old). With a few exceptions, deb software is not updated after the OS release - to get newer deb software, upgrade to a newer release of Ubuntu. Example: Ubuntu 17.10 has LO 5.4.5. Ubuntu 18.04 will have LO 6.0.2. Or try the LO Snap, available for you now with LO 6.0.2. – user535733 Mar 12 '18 at 12:19
