If the line is just under the page number--not all the way across the page--
then there are some other possibilities:
1. It could be that the Page Number character style includes underlining. Go
to Format | Style, select Page Number, and read the style description.
2. If the page number was inserted using the Insert | Page Numbers command
(which is what it sounds like), it is in a frame. It could be that the frame
has a border. Click on the number until you see a hashed border around it,
then go to Format | Borders and Shading and make sure the frame has no
border.
