I've just been loading my templates into LO 6.0.5.2 on my Windows box.
There I found the same difficulties I found on Ubuntu.  It is not
sufficient to slide them into the templates directory of LO (in Ubuntu
/home/user/.config//libreoffice/4/user/template/) - they just don't get
registered in LO and so are not visible in the list when you want to
select one for a new document.

You need to go into LO, Writer for example, FILE >Templates >Manage
templates> select 'my templates' in the drop down list and then click
import.

Then you need to navigate to where you have the templates stored,
highlight them, and click import.

Then they'll get registered and appear in the templates dialogue.
