Use the Edit->Preferences menu to bring up the Preferences dialog and under the 
Formats&Data tab, use the Lat/Lon Format chooser to set the format.  Select 
something like:

##0.0##

which will give you 3 digits after the decimal point.  The combo box is 
editable, so if you want more digits, just add more # signs after the decimal 
point.
