When the dividends are being reinvested automatically, I enter the transaction 
in the relevant stock account.  I just find it easier to see with the number/
price/value boxes in front of me.

Instead of the usual approach of the cash to buy the shares being transferred 
from Assets:Bank, just transfer from Income:dividend[:etc] and also if 
requited ensure you have the split to show the tax credit too.

HTH,
