How can I underline text in a document to be a solid line.

Question

I am typing a legal document and when I list it with a number first like:
1. DEFINITIONS and select either "command-U" or in the menu bar the U, I will either have a solid black line under the DEFINITIONS or a thicker opaque line. As I move down my document from 1 to 2 to 3, my underline changes from solid to opaque. What is the problem? I want to have a solid black line under my headings.
Help, I am stuck and can't finish my document.

Jerry,
I am new to Pages 08, and have used Apple Works for years, but decided to use Pages since it is a much better program.
It's hard to explain, but at times when I underline something in a paragraph, the line is a solid black line. Then I will move down to another paragraph and underline a different heading and the line will be light gray in color, not a solid black line.
I have checked the Font dialogue box, and it lists none, single, double, or color but when I select the black color it does not make the light gray underline go to a black solid color.
Would the borders and rules be the place to change the underline to look like this__________ when I press the Command-U key or select the U in the menu bar?
Right now, sometimes I will get the underline to look like this_______, and other times it will be a light gray thicker line.
Thanks,
DaisyMay
