How do I stop text being underlined in PS CS5?

Suddenly all my text is appearing underlined.

I've searched but cannot find how to turn it off.

Such a simple thing but I'm completely lost.

How do I do it?

    That's probably the underline (baseline) when making a text layer and should go away when you commit the text.

    I think that represents the baseline of the text and is just for visual reference.

    You can hide it while typing by pressing Cmd+H.

    The usual cause is having Underline enabled in the Character panel.

    Thanks for pointing out the Character panel which is what I was looking for.

    However, the underlining box was not selected and I have come to the conclusion that what I am seeing is not underlining as it disappears when I change from the Text tool.

    This is a screenshot.

    Perhaps you could explain what it is I am seeing?

    Just discovered that clicking on the Hand Tool removes the underlining.

    It appears that the text is automatically underlined whilst using the Text Tool but I never had this problem in earlier versions.

    Why is it underlined whilst being typed?
