When I inserted a html file in PowerPoint slide, the contents were way off
from the slide. It looks crappy. How do I make the slide to show entire
contents from the html page?

Hi, have you tried going to the top left or right corner and dragging it down
to make it smaller which should eventually fit the slide?

While PowerPoint can read html to some extent, it's not a fullscale html
interpreter. It's mostly geared to reading its own html. If it works with
other html, well ... think of it as a bonus, not a guaranteed feature.

Alternatives:

Add a link to the web page that you can click during the presentation.

If the page needn't be live, display it in the browser, press Alt+PrintScreen,
then switch to PPT and choose Edit, Paste to put an image of the browser screen
in PPT.

Use Shyam Pillai's Live Web addin (see http://skp.mvps.org)
