Most style guidelines strongly recommend against using underlines in print. Underlining used is for emphasis in handwritten material, because it's difficult to hand-write italics, much less bold. In a printed context, it just looks... unprofessional.
Of course, this is a stylistic preference and not a normative linguistic imperative, because I detest such things. But it's a very common one.
