It is possible that you could make a customized report. That would
at least ease the effort you spend in writing the transactions down.

Then you might be able to paste that into a spreadsheet and generate
a QIF file with the dividend transactions. That would be complex
tho. File-> Export from the investment account to see what the
transactions would look like. You would import as a recovered
account. Keep an extra copy/backup of your file in case you want to
undo something. Keep several copies as you go.

Even if you did that, you would have to get rid of the then surplus
transactions in the "Cash Transactions" register.

I have several dividend and sell transactions in my investment account.
However, in the "Cash Transactions" register, some of these transactions,
which should result in deposits to cash, show up instead as payments. Not
all, just some of the transactions are incorrect. This is making my final
cash balance completely wrong.

This problem is briefly mentioned here:

....but the suggested solution isn't applicable to me. I ported my Money
2003 or 2004 file a many years ago, have updated Money 2005, and the program
usually works correctly for me.

The only solution that has worked so far for me is to write down each
"corrupted" transaction, delete them, and then re-enter each one by hand.
For 8
years worth of investment data, that takes a very long time. Does anyone
have a similar experience or possible solutions?
