iPad TO iCloud sync - how to?

Hi everyone,

I successfully got a whole bunch of contacts imported into my iPad, and it has subsequently uploaded them to the iCloud. So far so good.

However - I have a lot of duplicates in there and some old / duff contacts. I've had a good clear out on the iPad and tidied it all up. The iPad then helpfully resynced itself from the iCloud, and overwrote all my painstaking efforts.

So I've done it all again and switched off the iCloud link temporarily. My question is, then, how to overwrite the version of my contacts which is on iCloud, and replace it with what is on my iPad?

I can't seem to find any way of "seeing" iCloud or any means of syncing in the opposite from usual direction - ie., from iPad up to iCloud.

Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

I DID! I didn't know that existed - that's exactly what I needed. Thank you very much - you have solved this for me perfectly. :)
