Look under the Tools menu, select Distance and Bearing Calculator, and in the middle you will find a conversion tool that will change decimal degrees into the required format.
Manually it is as in the following example: 123.456789 decimal degrees subtract 123 multiply the remaining 0.456789 x 60 = 27.40734 subtract 27 - this is your minutes figure multiply the remaining 0.40734 x 60 = 24.4404 which is the seconds figure with decimal places. Which goes together as 1232724.440 under Legacy format.
