When i yank a whole line and press p in creates a new line to put the yanked text. Because of the newline characters.
But if I yank part of a line is there a way to put that yanked text in a new line.
I currently do o-esc-p. Is this the only way?

Here's your answer from Vim help:
:[line]pu[t] [x] Put the text [from register x] after [line] (default
current line). This always works |linewise|, thus
this command can be used to put a yanked block as new
lines.
The cursor is left on the first non-blank in the last
new line.
The register can also be '=' followed by an optional
expression. The expression continues until the end of
the command. You need to escape the '|' and '"'
characters to prevent them from terminating the
command. Example: >
:put ='path' . \",/test\"
< If there is no expression after '=', Vim uses the
previous expression. You can see it with ":dis =".
:[line]pu[t]! [x] Put the text [from register x] before [line] (default
current line).
But colon-p-u-enter is more keystrokes anyway =/
Theres o(c-r)0 as you can always paste from registers while your in insert mode but thats only if you want to remain in insert mode after the paste
