    Here is a screen that looks for dividend stocks that pay over 3% in dividend yield. (That is my personal threshold for considering a stock a dividend stock under my trading rules) This one does require that you do more research in the history of the dividend to make a judgement on whether or not it is a reliable payer.

Then I'm looking for return on equity in excess of 10% to give an indication the company is being managed OK. Here's the screen:
