You could help yourself by reading the docs. The templates are not able to access the internet - this is a security feature. They can access the upstream proxy and can download software using that route. You can change this setting, but it introduces risks. Open Software from Fedora-23 template and search for office. That works for me. Alternatively, open a terminal and use fedora tools: sudo dnf install libreoffice There is no need to download packages and copy them to the template.
