Yes. The last thing that can prevent this is the change of Vendor. If
you had packages from openSUSE and the newly added repo has OO packages
with a different vendor (as is almost certainly the case here), 'zypper
up' won't see these packages.

Curently you have two choices to get the new OO stuff from the new repo:

1) allow vendor change temporarily (or for good, but use with caution!!)
 * set solver.allowVendorChange = true in /etc/zypp/zypp.conf
 * zypper up 'OpenOffice_org*'  ('in' will do the same, too)
 * reset solver.allowVendorChange to false

2) request specific version
 * zypper in OpenOffice_org-writer-3.2.1-whatever ...

In the future you will be able to:

3) force installation from specified repo
 * zypper in --force --from theOOrepo OpenOffice_org-writer ...

maybe even 'zypper up --force --from theOOrepo', we'll see.
