Css not aligning paragraph correctly

I have the following code:

    <div class="copyright">
    <p>Copyright 2013 - All rights reserved</p></div>

    .copyright {
         margin-left: auto;
         margin-right: auto;
         font-family: 'NeouBold';
         font-size: 13px;}

For some reason, the margin-left and margin-right will not center the paragraph.

You need to give the div a width before centering with auto margins, as block-level elements take up 100% width by default

 .copyright {
 margin-left: auto;
 margin-right: auto;
 font-family: 'NeouBold';
 font-size: 13px;
 width: 300px;
 }
