A gutter is the area in the centre of the book and is in addition to the

1" and the left margin is ½", then the left blank area will be 1½" in total.
Is there any behavioral difference, other than just adding to the
inside margin?
In some page layout programs, the part of an image that spans a page
that is in the gutter gets duplicated on either side. So the gutter
behaves differently than a margin..
In my experiments I have found the gutter does nothing other than add
to the margin. I was wondering if this is the case.
That's correct. Word treats the gutter only as an addition to the
margin measurement. Nothing else happens. This is summed up in the
often-repeated statement that "Word is not a page layout program, it's
a word processor".
