Found the fix (aka: solution)

Thanks (again) to Padow, a slight change to his syntax solved the problem. Here is the syntax that worked:

:1,$s/ -I/\r/g

Note that I included a space in the seach-for text " -I". This allowed for the extra space to be removed so each line starts at the beginning.

Cheers!
