Worse than hard

I've spent all day preparing submissions to different specs. After two hours of getting one submission ready, I sent it off and got an automatic reply saying that submissions were closed - although on the website, it still says they are open until the end of Sept.

Another agency required you to cut and paste into their online form. I did that and all the formatting was lost. My ms was virtually unreadable so I went laboriously through 5 chapters trying to reinstate paragraph breaks but then they were lost again.

I'm giving up for tonight. Can't even see properly by this time. Hope anyone reading this is in a better state than I am.
