How do I Center Text Horizontally using <span>

What do I need to change for the following HTML to center "Some Text"
horizontally ? Thanks.

<span style="position:absolute; top:40; left:200; z-index:2;
font-family:arial; font-size:36; color:blue;">
Some Text</span>

Span is inline, you might need DIV.

I need to position "Some Text" in an absolute position vertically so it is
over a background image. So how would I do that with DIV ?

Use DIV instead of SPAN.
