“听说你把女秘书辞了,她犯了什么错?”

Can anyone explain the meaning of 把 here? Does 打了 mean to type?

Bazza, Which 把? There are two. Both are typical usages, though. Check out 把 in the Grammar Guide. 打出来 could be "type out" or "print out." Apparently here it's both. Not a very good joke, Bazza. You should be more selective. :P

It would helpful to be able to search the grammar guide for characters and words. It's not always that easy to know where to look.
